Read-in marks MLK Day

A free read-in for children ages 3 to 8 is from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16, in the downstairs Readings Gallery at Village Books, 1200 11th St.
Parents are welcome to participate in the event, which is in its seventh year, and is sponsored by the Center for Service-Learning at Western Washington University.
"We're trying to engage children in social-justice issues in a fun way," said Alyssa Jones, the Center for Service-Learning's VISTA project coordinator.
