id you know that the Twin Cities Bungalow Club has a book collection consisting of many of the best bungalow books on the market, and that you can check them out?

Several years ago, Kristi Johnson, the Bungalow Club's founder, established a collection of bungalow, mission, and Arts & Crafts books and journals at the St. Paul Library Branch in Merriam Park. Club members donated many of the first books. The Bungalow Club now provides the library with an annual sum of money for additional purchases.

The collection numbers about 150 books. We also purchase subscriptions to bungalow-related magazines available at the library. Though the books are not grouped in one place on the library's shelves, you can ask at the reference desk for a printed list of Twin Cities Bungalow Club books to help you locate them throughout the library or print the list here. If a book you want is checked out, you can request that it be held for you and the library will notify you when it is returned.

Ideas for new purchases or book donations are welcome. Contact the Bungalow Club at bungalowclub@hotmail.com.
