A dozen hardy people braved the cold tonight to hear an entertaining talk by young adult author Steven Parlato.
Parlato, an English professor at Naugatuck Valley Community College, is the author of "The Namesake," a too-early coming of age tale about a 15-year-old boy who searches for his family's secrets after his father commits suicide.
His talk was sponsored by the Tolland Public Library Foundation as part of its Eaton-Dimock-King Authors Series.
