Adult Programs
Encryption in the 21st Century *RR
Wednesday, June 8, 7 pm
The recent clash between Apple and the FBI over encryption provides an excellent opportunity to discuss encryption and decide how much we value our personal privacy versus the needs of law enforcement. This program will be presented by Keith West, who moderates foreign and domestic policy discussion series at Wilmington Memorial Library.
Author Talk: Ted Reinstein *RR
Thursday, June 9, 7 pm
Ted Reinstein, a reporter for “Chronicle” and author, brings to life many of the famous fights, spats, and arguments that have, in many ways, shaped New England itself in his new book Wicked Pissed: New England’s Most Famous Feuds. From sports to politics, food to finance, aviation to engineering, to bitter disputes over simple boundaries themselves, New England’s feuds have peppered the region’s life for centuries.
