Their Window Displays Inform and Invite

[Note: Extracts from a report prepared for the Reading Room Division by an assistant librarian in a jointly maintained Christian Science Reading Room]

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Our ground-floor Christian Science Reading Room, which is jointly maintained by First and Second Churches of Christ, Scientist, this city, is located at a busy downtown intersection. Two large display windows, one facing a thoroughfare for automobiles and pedestrians, the other overlooking a beautiful civic park and buildings, give us wonderful opportunities for displaying the writings of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and other Christian Science literature.

The afternoon librarian, whose privilege it is to arrange the exhibits in these windows, finds this activity an inspiring experience. Each display is the result of specific prayerful metaphysical work. The wish to give the window reader a sense of peace and a desire to know more about Christian Science, thus inviting him into the Reading Room to inquire about our movement or to purchase our literature, is always kept uppermost in thought.
