The group decided to call the book club Glimt, meaning glimpses in Norwegian. They met every other Tuesday in the home of one of the members. Dues were set at $3.00 per year, to be used for the purchase of books. The secretary kept track of books received and disbursed. Records show that in the first seven years the group read and disbursed 216 books. At each meeting a book would be read aloud and discussed after coffee was served. During the reading, members often did embroidery or other handwork. In 1907, the group formally decided to read books that emphasized the study of Norwegian history. Items in the collection include a Glimt history, by-laws, recipe book, secretary records from 1889-2015, and three books by Ruth Sonju Madsen (Open my Eye: Thoughts of a Grandma, So Glad You Asked: Thoughts of a Grandma, Both Sides of the Ocean: The Sonju Family Heritage and Immigration Story).
