2026 Clinton County Reads | Wilmington Public Library of Clinton County

Clinton County Reads is a month-long event usually each spring that invites the entire county to read one book and attend various programs and book discussions in order to bring everyone closer together. 
 
This year the committee has chosen Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green. In this deeply human and meticulously researched non-fiction work, Green weaves together the story of a young tuberculosis patient named Henry with the complex social and scientific histories of the disease. The book explores how tuberculosis has shaped our past and how collective global choices will determine its future.
