Target Hosts Dr. Seuss Event

Target is hosting a free in-store reading event in celebration of the National Education Association’s Read Across America program Saturday, Feb. 25 from 9 to 11 a.m.

The event will include a reading nook inspired by Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, a reusable Target bag filled with activities for children and readings by Target team members. 

Children and their families will gather in the reading nook inspired by The Lorax as Target team members read to children and guests participating in reading activities.

Look for signs inside the store to point you in the right direction.

Since 2003, Target has supported the NEA’s Read Across America program, which calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on or around March 2, the birthday of beloved children’s author, Dr. Seuss. As a result of its support of programs like this, Target is on track to give $1 billion for education by the end of 2015.
