Best-selling author Margaret Peterson Haddix spoke at Carnegie Public Library Thursday evening.

Haddix, a graduate of Miami Trace High School, has written more than 45 books. Those books have been mostly for intermediate age children and young adults.

This is the 25th visit Haddix has made to her former hometown library. The library and Haddix have made the engagement a yearly tradition, and the author usually visits in December.

After sharing stories, anecdotes and writing advice, Haddix stayed to autograph books and take pictures with her fans.

Books were sold on site by Books ‘N’ More from Wilmington. Also during the event, cookies made by Pigasus Pastries in Cincinnati were served.
