True Story: A Nonfiction Book Club

A book club for nonfiction fans to enjoy interesting conversations, hot beverages, and community.

Prefer fact over fiction? Join True Story, our non-fiction book club! Each meeting, we'll spend an hour discussing a different non-fiction title. This meeting, we'll be discussing "Everything is Tuberculosis" by John Green.

“In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.

In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.” Goodreads.

Pick up a copy of the book at the Information Desk in Adult Services on the Upper Level of the library or try an ebook or audiobook from The Ohio Digital Library. Registration is recommended.
