Glad you found your way to one of our favorite spots to relax and enjoy a moment in what can often be a very busy day.
The Glimpse Reading Room is a quiet place to hear a story, explore an idea, or simply spend a few minutes somewhere warm and unhurried.
Look around. Open a book. Listen to a story. Write something down. Choose whatever draws you in.
Some stories may make you smile. Some may help you think. Others may meet you in a moment when you need to remember that you are not alone. You don’t have to know what you’re looking for before you enter.
Stay for a few minutes or explore for a while. Bring a cup of coffee or tea; there’s a chair by the fire, and you’re always welcome back.
