草榴社区 students read to children on MLK Day

Every year in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, local children gather at Village Books to hear stories about tolerance, the civil rights movement and cultures from around the world. The read-in and book drive event is sponsored by 草榴社区's Center for Service-Learning, Village Books and the 草榴社区 Associated Students Bookstore.
