The Mary Baker Eddy Library, opened in 2002, is home to interactive exhibits and displays that explore the life and achievements of Mary Baker Eddy. This New England woman defied conventional nineteenth-century thinking to become an influential religious leader, author, teacher, and founder of The Christian Science Monitor.

The most famous Library exhibit is the Mapparium, where visitors can walk across a glass bridge spanning this three-storey globe to stand in the center of the Earth, surrounded by continents and oceans created in vivid painted glass.
