Thanks to Bookmarks of Winston-Salem, students at Northwest and MIdway Elementary Schools were treated to a school visit by debut author, Zeno Alexander. More than 200 4th and 5th graders got to meet the author up close and personal to hear about the writing process as well as hear some excerpts of his new book, The Library of Ever, that was just released on April 30th. SLMCs Candy Pierce and Joanie Williams hosted the author in their schools on May 1st. "With her parents off traveling the globe, 11 year old Lenora is bored, bored, bored—until she discovers a secret doorway into the ultimate library. Maze-like and reality-bending, the library contains all the universe’s wisdom. Every book ever written, and every fact ever known, can be found within its walls. And Lenora becomes its newly appointed Fourth Assistant Apprentice Librarian.
She rockets to the stars, travels to a future filled with robots, and faces down a dark nothingness that wants to destroy all knowledge. To save the library, Lenora will have to test her limits and uncover secrets hidden among its shelves." - (Goodreads) Students had an opportunity to purchase the books from Bookmarks and have them signed by the author on site. Copies are currently available at Bookmarks in Winston-Salem. Alexander's sequel, Rebel in the Library of Ever, comes out April 2020.
