Edmonds Mayor Gary Haakenson wasn’t for sale last week. There was a better reason for him to sit in the window at the Edmonds Bookshop.

During the "Read in the Window" event, folks took turns reading in the front window to show the importance of books. Haakenson took the first shift.

Edmonds Elementary School librarian Paul Borchert and fifth-grader Simone Potter also read in the window.

Edmonds Bakery provided cookies, and Tully’s Coffee offered hot chocolate.

In the spirit of the month, Edmonds Elementary offers a Read-a-Thon assembly Monday, and Westgate Elementary School plans a Dr. Seuss celebration on Tuesday.
