Book 2

Lenora returns to the magical Library-which holds every book ever known on its shelves. But she discovers the Library is under new management, its incredible rooms and corridors turned sinister and oppressive.

Lenora quickly connects with a secret resistance that's trying to free knowledge from the darkness threatening it. Her new friends introduce her to an ancient lost city, hang-gliding, and mathematical beings larger than the universe itself.

In its starred review for The Library of Ever, Kirkus called it "unusually clever," BCCB named it "utterly enchanting," and Booklist said it's "for every person who has ever believed that libraries are magic." Now Lenora returns to fight to prove that knowledge is always more powerful than ignorance and fear.

Published 30 May 2019
Lenora is having a very frustrating summer while her parents have adventures around the globe-until she discovers a strange doorway in her local library.

It leads to the Library-the ultimate library, filled with all the knowledge of the universe. And Lenora steps right up to become its newest apprentice librarian.

Lenora's new job rockets her across the globe and into outer space, to a future filled with robots, and to a dark nothingness that wants to destroy the library. She quickly learns the only way to save it might be unlocking the knowledge inside its endless shelves. . . .

The Library of Ever is an adventure across time and space, but more importantly across human knowledge, as a young girl discovers what makes books truly magical.
