CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READING ROOM
The Christian Science Reading Room at 610 Foothill Blvd, La Cañada Flintridge, is our outlet for publications of The Christian Science Publishing Society. Besides a display and sales room, it houses a reference library and a study room where the public is welcome to read, browse, study, or pray. It is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and most Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., except for public holidays. It is also open for about a half-hour after each Sunday service, and by request following the Wednesday evening meeting.
The Christian Science Publishing Society's web site, spirituality.com, features original articles, live Q&A chats, and searchable study resources that show the practical blessings of Christian Science.

Periodicals available at the Reading Room include:
Books available to purchase or study in the Reading Room: These include Bibles, concordances to the Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, and other writings by Mrs. Eddy. There are also other books related to Christian Science and the church. There are CDs and cassette tapes of books by Mrs. Eddy, inspirational articles from the Christian Science magazines, hymns and praise music, and testimonies from people healed through Christian Science. And there are special items for children.
The study room contains many reference works, such as Bibles and Bible dictionaries, and resources for studying Christian Science and its history. Of particular interest is a full set of all issues of The Christian Science Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel dating from their very first editions in the late nineteenth century.
We have wireless internet and a computer with high-speed DSL connection to the internet, available for accessing the various web sites related to Christian Science. (See the Links page for some of these.) This includes the ability to listen to the previous Sunday's service from The Mother Church.
Used literature: Are you wondering what to do with your gently used Christian Science Sentinels and Journals? Please donate them to our Reading Room. The attendants remove the address labels and staples and provide them for distribution in county jails.
