Grades 5 to 8. Connect with other kids who love to read and talk about books. Joanne Birdsall's The Penderwicks will be discussed during this session. Snacks provided.
A limited number of The Penderwicks by Joanne Birdsall are available to borrow at Regent Place Branch, otherwise reserve the book here. New book club members are welcome to join.
Penderwick sisters Rosalind, Skye, Jane and Batty arrive at their summer rental cottage with their dad and discover it’s on the grounds of a lush estate called Arundel. Although they quickly learn to avoid Arundel’s owner — an arrogant heiress and single mother named Mrs. Tifton — they meet other kind employees of the estate, and even befriend Mrs. Tifton’s son, Jeffery. The children enjoy ballgames and other adventures, all the while trying to stay out of Mrs. Tifton’s way. When Mrs. Tifton reaches her wit’s end with the kids, she and her obnoxious boyfriend, Dexter, decide to send Jeffery to military school. As the girls prepare to leave for home, they wage one final campaign to save Jeffery from this unwelcome fate.

Regina Public Library opened its first shopping mall location as what was then known as Regent Park Branch in 1966.
Since 1995, Regent Place Branch called 107 Albert Street home, and provided the community with a full-service Library Branch.
In February 2012, the Branch moved into a temporary location in the Regina Market Mall, while a new Regent Place Branch was being designed and built.
