December Book Club: Everything is Tuberculosis

About this event

For our December book club, we’ll be reading John Green’s “Everything is Tuberculosis.” Please join us on Wednesday, December 2, at 6:30pm at 65 Lake Ave in Worcester.

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