While library reopenings are being scheduled in Lamorinda following the move of Contra Costa County into the Orange tier, many programming options will still be available from the comfort of your couch via Zoom. The Lafayette Library and Learning Center is continuing its Authors and Lectures programming in April, starting on April 14 at 2 p.m. with a lecture by Avril Angevine about Dorothea Lange. Best known for her Depression-era documentary work-including the world-renowned "Migrant Mother"-Lange brought the humanity of the poor into sharp focus in works that resonate with us today.

As part of the Distinguished Speaker Series, Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., will discuss his book, "Radical Curiosity: One Man's Search for Cosmic Magic and a Purposeful Life" at 7 p.m. April 17 on Zoom. Widely regarded as one of the world's foremost experts on aging and longevity, according to the LLLC website, Dychtwald offers an entirely different, and far more personal, perspective in his latest book. Triggered by the deaths of his parents, and motivated by his cutting-edge research into the importance of leaving a legacy, Dychtwald dives deep to examine the arc and legacies of his own life in order to show readers his keys to a meaningful, magical and purposeful life.

Ticket price ($28) includes a copy of Dychtwald's book. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Lafayette Library and Learning Center Foundation. RSVP at www.lllcf.org/dss-ken-dychtwald
