Stephen Rosen, a physicist, will be at the East Hampton Library on Friday at 6 p.m. to talk about cosmic radiation, described by the library as "high-energy particles that bathe the Earth's surface and the universe, arriving from distant supernova explosions." The talk will be in person, with a live Zoom option for those who want to join remotely.

Earlier in the day, at 5 p.m., Lenny Ackerman takes to the lectern to talk about his book "Fishing in the Morning," a collection of columns published in The Mountain Messenger. The East Hampton lawyer is donating proceeds from the sale of the book, available tomorrow and through BookHampton, to the nonprofit Project Most, which provides after-school and enrichment activities for children.

On Saturday at 1 p.m., another author, Richard Brockman, will discuss and sign copies of "Life After Death: Surviving Suicide." The book tells the story of how Mr. Brockman overcame the trauma of finding his mother's body as a boy.

The science-fiction book group will consider Jack McDevitt's "Village in the Sky" on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Registration for all programs is online via the library's calendar page or by calling or visiting the adult reference desk.
