PARKLAND LIBRARY READING BUDDIES
(K-5 th grade)
Mondays - 3:30pm to 4:30pm
Would your child
benefit from a Reading
Buddy? Reading
Buddies is a crossage,
effective method
of energizing young
readers. The Parkland
Juniorettes, high
school girls dedicated to making a difference, have partnered
with the Parkland Library to help students that are struggling
with reading. When younger students read with older
students literacy skills are picked up in an enjoyable manner.
Building partnerships between our high achieving, high
school students and elementary age children is an excellent
way to reinforce lifelong reading success. Young students
will build self-confidence and enhance literacy skills! Reading
Buddies will meet every Monday at the Parkland Library. On
the Mondays that school is closed, Reading Buddies will not
meet. Registration not required. For more information visit

ALL BOOKED UP BOOK:
AT THE WATER’S EDGE BY SARA GRUEN
Saturday, December 5 th - 10:30am
After disgracing themselves at
a high society New Year’s Eve
party in Philadelphia in 1944,
Madeline Hyde and her husband,
Ellis, are cut off financially by his
father, a former army colonel
who is already ashamed of his
son’s inability to serve in the war.
When Ellis and his best friend,
Hank, decide that the only way
to regain the Colonel’s favor is to
succeed where the Colonel very
publicly failed—by hunting down
the famous Loch Ness monster—Maddie
reluctantly follows them across the Atlantic,
leaving her sheltered world behind. The trio find themselves
in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands, where the locals
have nothing but contempt for the privileged interlopers.
Maddie begins to see that nothing is as it first appears: the
values she holds dear prove unsustainable, and monsters
lurk where they are least expected. For more information visit
