Foothill Forum Book Club

Foothill Forum Book Club meets at the Salt Lake City Public Library Anderson-Foothill Branch on Monday, November 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. It's one of the city library's regular book clubs, and this one focuses on nonfiction. The group works through contemporary socio-political issues, using a specific book as a jumping-off point for the conversation.

That's the core of it: you read a nonfiction title, and the session is built around thought-provoking questions and civil discourse. It's less about agreeing on one answer and more about talking through the ideas together. If you're looking for a place to engage with current events and political questions in a civil way, this is exactly that kind of room.

There's a practical side to how it works, too. You pick up your copy of the book at the Anderson-Foothill branch a month before each meeting, while supplies last. So if you want to be ready for the November 23 session, you'll want to swing by the branch in October to grab your copy. The meetings run on select Mondays and the last Tuesday of each month, 6:30 to 7:30 PM.

And if you've ever wanted to start a club of your own, the city library has you covered there as well. They offer book club kits that include nine paperback copies, an audiobook, and discussion guides to get you going. The Foothill Forum meets at the Anderson-Foothill branch, 6:30 to 7:30 PM.
