Josh Hanagarne stands 6 feet 7 inches tall and can bend horseshoes with his bare hands. He has Tourette’s syndrome and is given to noisy verbal tics. It may seem unlikely, but Hanagarne is also a librarian at Salt Lake City’s Main Library. The job fuels his inner bookworm. It also compels him to consistently maintain silence and self-control. Hanagarne has written a memoir about his struggles with the physical and mental challenges of Tourette’s, and he joins us on Thursday to talk about it.
Josh Hanagarne is giving a talk on Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at his second home, Salt Lake City's Main Library. Follow this link for more details.
He'll also be at the King's English Bookshop on May 30th at 7 p.m. Visit the King's English web site for more details.
