International Book Group
Join the Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy’s International Book Group and “try on another life for size”!
The International Book Group meets once a month on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at Westminster College's Foster Faculty Lounge in Foster Hall (Map No. 15). Parking is available on campus, and in the neighborhood alongside 1300 East. On 1300 East, a lighted signal crosswalk will lead you safely to Foster Hall.
The Group reads for pleasure to learn about other countries, customs, and cultures through fiction and non-fiction. Books will be big and little, but will always seek to look at the world from a human perspective.
Participants need not read the literature to enjoy the informal discussions, but it is highly recommended. Please register in person at the King’s English Bookshop or email Wendy Foster Leigh, Book Group Leader. Registration is free and open to all.
Books are available for purchase at the King’s English or online. Indicate that you are a member of the Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy or of the King’s English and receive a 10% discount.

About Wendy Foster Leigh - Book Group Leader
My parents brought me to the United States through Ellis Island in 1947, on a transformed troop ship, from Southampton, England. The mixture of languages and cultures whetted my appetite for travel, but not the desire to travel by sea again! My journeys take place through the stories and adventures of others. I am retired, after 40+ years in the “ed-business,” and enjoy living the lives of others through books. I work part-time at The King’s English Bookshop in Salt Lake City and also lead a mystery book group of Arm-chair travel mystery readers.
