Library resources of the Brite Divinity School, a graduate seminary of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), are an integral part of the Mary Couts Burnett Library. The Brite Reading Room is on the second floor and houses a selection of religious reference books as well as the Jack B. Friedman Judaica Library. Circulating books related to religion and theology (BJ-BX) are located nearby. The office of the Brite Divinity School Librarian adjoins the Reading Room.

The Reading Room is accessible at all hours the Library is open. It is intended for the exclusive use of faculty and students who are using religious reference works or are otherwise engaged in quiet study of religious or theological topics.
