DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of this non fiction title\, written b
 y popular novelist John Green..\nhttps://mcpl.libnet.info/event/17336317
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>"Tuberculosis has been entwined with human
 ity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets\, today tubercul
 osis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequi
 ty we blazed for it. <br />&nbsp\;<br />In 2019\, John Green met Henry\, a
  young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone w
 hile traveling with Partners in Health. John became fast friends with Henr
 y\, a boy with spindly legs and a big\, goofy smile. In the years since th
 at first visit to Lakka\, Green has become a vocal and dynamic advocate fo
 r increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare ineq
 uities that allow this curable\, treatable infectious disease to also be t
 he deadliest\, killing 1.5 million people every year. <br />&nbsp\;<br />I
 n Everything is Tuberculosis\, John tells Henry&rsquo\;s story\, woven thr
 ough with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shap
 ed our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis." -
