+Linking Parquet
+---------------
+
+The Parquet reader and writer used in the :doc:`tutorials/io_tutorial` and the
+:doc:`tutorials/datasets_tutorial` (the ``parquet::arrow`` namespace, declared
in
+``parquet/arrow/reader.h`` and ``parquet/arrow/writer.h``) live in a separate
+library, so linking ``Arrow::arrow_shared`` alone is not enough. Look up the
+Parquet package as well and link its target:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.25)
+
+ project(MyExample)
+
+ find_package(Arrow REQUIRED)
+ find_package(Parquet REQUIRED)
+
+ add_executable(my_example my_example.cc)
+ target_link_libraries(my_example PRIVATE Arrow::arrow_shared
+ Parquet::parquet_shared)
+
+Use ``Parquet::parquet_static`` instead if you are linking the static
libraries.

Sure, that sounds good to me.
