World's Strongest Librarian - Guest Blogger

I wanted to read The World's Strongest Librarian: A Memoir of Tourette's, Faith, Strength, and the Power of Family, a biography by Josh Hanagarne for three reasons.  first, because the character has Tourette Syndrome and I wondered how he handled the tics.  Second, Josh grew up a Mormon, and I wanted to learn the ways of Mormons.  The third reason is in the title.  What makes him the strongest librarian?  As it turns out, he shares an interest in books like his mother.  His Navajo dad is wise with advice.  He acquires help from a tech sergeant in the Air Force who helps him the most, physically and mentally.  He tries everything from Botox, chiropractors to personal trainers for help with Tourette's.  You'll find out how he functions as a librarian and a family man.  He tells his story with a wonderful sense of humor.  You will see that he can be a librarian and control his Tourette's by staying strong with his weight lifting routine.  He is not a quitter.  JV
