Home Tanner Book Club

The Tanner Book Club, facilitated by Scott Black, brings together passionate and thoughtful readers from across the Salt Lake Valley to discuss classic novels. Our monthly conversations are lively and feature a broad range of perspectives from our participants, which include businesspeople, lawyers, University staff, retirees, local teachers, and health professionals.

Membership for Spring 2026 is $125. Proceeds support our Gateway to Learning workshops for local educators.


Space is limited. You can join our monthly mailing list for updates about future Tanner Book Club selections.
