The World's Strongest Librarian is an inspiring memoir that takes you through the life of Josh Hanagarne, a Mormon kid who found salvation in books and strength in weight lifting.

Josh's journey begins at the age of six, when he first starts exhibiting symptoms of Tourette Syndrome during a school play. This condition escalates to nightmarish levels by the time he reaches his towering height of 6'7" at the age of twenty.

Determined to conquer his affliction, Josh tries everything from dubious remedies to drug regimes that leave him lethargic, and even Botox injections that paralyze his vocal cords, rendering him voiceless for three years.

However, an eccentric, autistic strongman teaches Josh the art of "throttling" his tics into submission through strength training. This hobby becomes a way of life and an effective method for managing his disorder.

Today, Josh is a librarian at Salt Lake City's public library and the founder of a popular blog about books and weight lifting. He is also a proud father, navigating life with humor and candor, overcoming his disability, and finding love.

This memoir illuminates the mysteries of Tourette Syndrome and explores the contrasting worlds of strongman training and modern libraries. With humor and insight, Josh's story is one of resilience and hope.
