Improving Their Accessibility

[From a report prepared by the committee representing the branches in its city which worked out the relocation of the jointly supported Reading Room they maintain]

St. Louis, Missouri

After thirty-six years in the same downtown office building in this city, the Christian Science Reading Room which is jointly maintained by all eight churches here has been moved to the ground floor. For ten of these years thought and discussion devoted to the desirability of making the Reading Room more useful to the Cause of Christian Science by putting it down on the ground floor, where it would invite the attention of the general public, had prepared the way for concerted action.

After the July 30, 1948, letter from The Christian Science Board of Directors pertaining to jointly supported Reading Rooms and their mission was received in this field, a "New Location Committee" was formed. One member from each of the participating churches was appointed to this committee, which was to find a "suitable location" for a ground-floor Reading Room. It was explained that only a location on one of our busiest downtown thoroughfares would be considered suitable. The committee was to meet monthly, unless it was found necessary to call more frequent meetings.
