Target and The Heart of America Foundation will unveil a newly renovated library at Twin Lakes Elementary. Several hundred volunteer hours were invested in the redesign and construction of the library space, which features 2,000 new books, furniture, carpet and shelves, and a complete technology upgrade, including new iPads, interactive white boards and more. By reimagining school libraries and transforming outdated spaces into state-of-the-art learning centers, Target continues to foster a love of reading in students across the nation.

This year, Twin Lakes Elementary is one of 25 elementary schools across the country to receive a new library as part of the Target School Library Makeover program, which will culminate with the celebration of the 200th School Library Makeover on November 14, a major program milestone. Through programs like this, Target is on track to give $1 billion for education by the end of 2015.
