Haddam, who is at work on a new series, will sign books after her talk. Her latest Demarkian mystery is "Flowering Judas."
The lecture series, sponsored by the library and the Tolland Public Library Foundation, is made possible through the Phoebe Dimock King and Elizabeth C. King Eaton Endowment.
The endowment was created in 2009 through a generous bequest from the late Elizabeth C. King Eaton. The benefactor, whose grandfather was born in Tolland in 1888, was raised in town and like her mother, the late Phoebe Dimock King, spent her professional life as a librarian.
The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. For more information or
to register, call the library at 860-871-3620.
