The Reading Room. A Christian Science Reading Room is for the benefit of the entire community, and anyone is welcome to visit and use its facilities. It is a place for quiet study (e.g. of the weekly Lesson-Sermon) and prayer, where many resources are provided for research. These include The Bible and Bible commentaries, the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, current and past Christian Science periodicals (including The Christian Science Monitor), biographies of Mrs. Eddy, books on Christian Science, and other authorized Christian Science literature. Included are many items for children, multimedia resources, computerized concordances, and translations of The Bible, Science & Health, and the Christian Science periodicals. Many of these resources may be used in the Reading Room, some are available for borrowing, and all may be purchased, either from stock or by special order.
