Download The World's Strongest Librarian: A Memoir of Tourette's, Faith, Strength, and the Power of Family AudioBook Free
At first glance, Josh Hanagarne seems an improbable librarian. He stands 6'7", competes in strongman contests, and was diagnosed in senior high school with Tourette's symptoms. But catalogs are his first love - Josh's earliest memories involve fantastic adventures between your pages of Gulliver's Journeys and a passionate infatuation with Fern from Charlotte's Web. Everything in Josh's life - from his Mormon upbringing, to finally finding love, to understanding how to control his tics through raising - circles back to a close connection with catalogs. Today, Josh is a librarian at the Sodium Lake City Open public Library, creator of a favorite blog about catalogs and weight lifting - and the proud dad of four-year-old Max, who has recently began to show his own symptoms of Tourette's. The World's Strongest Librarian illuminates the mysteries of this little-understood disorder as well as the very different worlds of strongman training and modern libraries. With humor and candor, this improbable hero traces his quest to conquer his disability, get around his wavering Mormon trust, spread the term about the wonder of catalogs, and ultimately, find love and create a life value living.
