Build/Remodel: Publications

MINNESOTA LIBRARY COLLECTIONS

The Lifetime Home Project in 2005 created collections of resource materials on home accessible and universal design, “healthy housing” and home design for persons with cognitive disabilities.  These collections were financed with funds provided by the Minnesota Board on Aging and placed in key Twin Cities libraries and regional library systems around the state. 

To identify the collection nearest you, click on Minnesota Library Collections - Locations [PDF/2 Pages/77Kb].    To review titles in the collections and a description of their contents, click on Minnesota Library Collections - Publications [PDF/4 Pages/180Kb].

ADDITIONAL PUBLICATIONS

A number of helpful, "how-to" books have been published since the Minnesota library collections were developed.  Additionally, materials selected for the collections had to meet certain criteria, so some noteworthy publications weren't included.  Click on Additional Publications - Accessible, Universal Design, Visitable Homes [PDF/2 Pages/87Kb] for another listing of recent books and other resources to explore.   (For reference, Chapter 10 [PDF/5 Pages/88Kb] of the MHFA Home Accessibility Remodeling Series found in the “Build/Remodel - Design” section of the website has an extensive list of both older and more recent publications as well.)
