A Christian Science Reading Room provides many services: it offers a place to ask questions about Christian Science; you can also buy or borrow the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy; it's a good place to study with the help of useful Bible reference books; it provides an inspired atmosphere for prayer—a place where you also can go for quiet communion with God when facing a crisis.
