Bookroo's summary

In the heart of New York City, Fortitude, a steadfast lion statue, faces a dilemma when his companion, Patience, mysteriously disappears from their library post. As dawn approaches, Fortitude must navigate the library's winding corridors to find his friend before the city awakens. Will he uncover the secret behind Patience's disappearance in time? This enchanting tale invites young readers into a world of mystery and adventure within the iconic New York Public Library, where history and friendship intertwine in unexpected ways.

From the publisher

Steadfast Fortitude and curious Patience are waiting every morning to greet visitors of the Library.

That is until, one early morning, when Fortitude finds Patience is missing. The city is about to awake, and the lions absolutely must be in their places before the sun rises. Now, Fortitude must abandon his own post to find his best friend in the Library’s labyrinthine halls.

With Josh Funk’s clever rhymes and Stevie Lewis’ vibrant art, Lost in the Library introduces young readers to a pair of unforgettable lions, as well as the famed New York Public Library, and includes bonus material loaded with facts about Patience, Fortitude, and the NYPL’s history.
