I know I am not the only one that loves Target but one of the reasons I love them is their commitment to education, especially early literacy. As you may know Target is committed to helping get the nation’s children reading proficiently by the end of third grade and one of the ways they are reaching this goal is to make over school libraries. Since 2007 Target has redone 118 school libraries with 32 school libraries slated to have complete makeovers this year. Thanks to Target and The Heart Of America Foundation 150 school libraries will be made over into a great place to read by the end of 2012. I remember loving going to the library at school and I was lucky enough to attend schools with beautiful spaces filled with books and inviting places to read. Not every child is so lucky. Target is trying to change that.
The school library makeovers include new furniture, carpet, shelves, 2000 new books to put on those shelves and technology including iPads. In addition to that each child at the participating schools will also receive 7 books to take home.
Check out the list of schools that will be getting transformed thanks to Target in 2012.
To spread the joy of helping others and early literacy Target isn’t only making over school libraries, they want to give you a chance to make your own amazing reading space at your house.To do that they put together an amazing prize package for one lucky winner.

A lamp and speakers for some quiet music.
GretchenP says
a big comfy chair to snuggle in and read! thanks for the giveaway!! 🙂
Kristin says
I’d also say a perfect big chair to fit at least three (one mama/daddy and two little boys) would be great… but really, just BOOKS! We can never have too many.
Natalie Anderson says
My husband and I have actually talked about our dream library quite a bit. 🙂 A floor to ceiling bookcase with a ladder, a fireplace, a large atlas of the world… All things that we envisioned. What was unexpected was the transformation of that vision once our first born child started developing the capacity to choose to read on his own. My husband and I – both avid readers – are over the moon that our child devours books. So now our vision also includes something new – a spot for our son to curl up and dive into a good story.
Katie M says
A nice cozy chair, with books on a low shelf that are easily accessible to little fingers. Some beautiful prints based on some of my little man’s favorite books!
Marie says
A tent/canopy that is beautiful and enticing and also allows each kid privacy for some reading time that *might* be uninterrupted by siblings.
Thanks for the giveaway!
JDaniel4's Mom says
My ideal space would have a place to sit and a place to lay down to look at books. The shelves would be easily reached by my son and the light would be great to see and read the books.
Janice says
I would love a library filled with incredible classic books, and a secret little nook of a spot for my little ones to crawl into and read their books.
Stephanie J says
My dream library would have shelves from floor to ceiling!!!

A sweet canopy to sit under, huge baskets of books and lots of new books on CD.

Inviting & comfortable reading chairs/pillows, whimsical (and bright) lights, CD player with books-on-CD, lots of room to display lots of books books face-out! And not to forget “reading buddies” (stuffed animals).
Kim Mahan says
All sorts of books for my 4 grandsons to read and be challenged and a comfy chair. I love how books develop the imagination!
michelle says
My home library would have a fluffy chair to fall into and snuggle while reading. (Do they make these big enough for 3?)
ste says
Shelves to store everything … because I am short on shelves and places to put things! As well as Little House on the Prairie series because I never read them as a kid but want to read them with my daughter.
kim says
Nice bright lights to see the books, soft carpeting to sink our toes into, low shelves for easy access, and a cozy place to snuggle and read!
bluehenmomma says
My dream library has a comfortable spot to sit or lay down, a great lamp for use at night but access to windows for reading in the sun. It has all my favorite books and the books that I’m looking forward to reading. It also has plenty of space for my little one to sit and read with me, or for her to snuggle in and look through the books herself if she needs some quiet time.
Sarah says
A great cozy chair and lots and lots of books! And my kids would insist on LOTS of stuffed birds!
Jennifer White says
I would have lots and lots of shelves (from Target, of course!) and a comfy place to sit. I already have lots of books, but I would LOVE to have many more!! My kids love to read, so it would be a perfect family library!
Love your blog!
Jennifer
Honi says
I was just thinking about this last night! We have books in every room, in bins, stored in the basement. I want a place where they can all be! Plus big chairs for sharing books, and little chairs and nook for reading alonee.
Anne says
My little library would be a place where my baby and I could snuggle together and share colorful books. I want sunshine during the day, and a bright lamp at night.
Sara says
I’ve always wanted an old-fashioned library with the ladder on runners going around. That being said I’d like to make it more family-friendly, so instead of stuffy old dark oak I’d make it white or some cheerful color, and instead of a leather armchair I’d put a bunch of those giant beanbag-type chairs on a nice shaggy carpet!
stacey says
My dream home library would have real encyclopedias!
Nenette Seaux says
It would have all of these in it, have a nice day
Carly Rogers says
We are currently remodeling my little boy’s room. He would LOVE that!
BMackey says
I would love a reading space for our house. I would like huge pillows thrown on the floor, so that my two kids and I could sprawl out while reading together. Lots of low laying shelves, with tons of crafting supplies. I love to draw out with the kiddos what we just read, or make puppets to act it out.
Aimee G. says
Maybe this is a duh answer, but books! LOTS of books and a place comfortable enough to encourage my kids to want to spend time in that little area!!
Michele says
An ideal reading spot is quiet, comfy, and organized.

Thanks for the giveaway!
Kim says
I have always wanted a big window seat with lots of pillows!
Marcie says
My personal dream library would have floor to ceiling bookshelves with a ladder like the library in Beauty & the Beast. But for a reading nook for my kids in our house, I’d love to have a book bin where they can see the covers of the books, some big squashy floor pillows, and a canopy so that it could be turned into a secret reading nook.
Katie says
A cozy area with a lot of natural light. Soft places for both kids and adults, that way kids could go in and snuggle on their own but also be able to read with their parents/caregivers too. Easy access to books in an age appropriate setting (like having board books on low shelves where younger children could get them out themselves and having older kid books up higher for taller/older kids). A small table with tape players, headphones and lots of books on tape. Stuffed animals of characters that match the book (i.e. the Caterpillar from “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”). I’d like to frame some of the little ones art work too and have them help me choose where to put it to help make the space “there’s”. Oh I could go on…reading is a very loved thing in our house!
Janel says
My dream at-home library would have an oversized comfy chair, good lighting, a bookshelf with neatly organized books of all kinds, some soft music and me and my son!
Heather S says
My dream library would have it’s own room. A place with tall shelves and comfy chairs and pillows and blankets all over the place so you can get comfy to read everywhere.
Emily says
Thank you! Our home dream library would have easy to reach shelves for our children. Colorful, comfy pillows and chairs to sit on and all kinds of classic, great literary books for all ages. IT would be near a big window to look out as we read. We love to read as a family and individually!
Becca says
I would want a comfortable space big enough to fit my two kids and myself, and LOTS of shelves – low shelves for the children’s books and high shelves for mine.
S. Jones says
My dream library would have several large overstuffed chairs in it, perfect for cuddling up with a good book. Also a large lovesack so I can curl up with the kids and read books with them.
salreem says
I would have a comfy chair or floor pillow big enough for the kids and I, a place to store the books, and a good safe reading light that makes the space feel cozy and warm.
Kara Fiedler says
My favorite pictures on pinterest are dream libraries. 🙂 I would love to have a library filled with classic children’s books — fairy tales, Aesop’s fables, all of the favorites like E.B. White and Roald Dahl. A window with a good view, and we’re all set…
Ashley says
Oh I think about this all the time! My hubby and I want bookshelves from floor to ceiling, lots of natural light, and plenty of fun reading spots in windowseats and nooks. We can dream, right? 🙂
Shelisa says
Plenty of super cozy places to sit, maybe even a hammock. Floor to ceiling shelves stacked with books with one of those cool ladders on rollers.
Kathryn says
My dream library would be smallish and comfortable. A loveseat, a cozy chair, lamps, candles, and a fireplace.
I’d have picture books arranged by category on low shelves for my son. My books would be up high. We’d have a small table for pouring over large books (for ex: scrapbooks and art books) and for playing board games.
Stephanie Graveen says
My dream in home library would be a room dedicated to being the library! It would be brightly lit, include comfy seating, bookshelves low enough so both kids could reach the books and not have to climb anything and would have Dr. Seuss quotes painted on the walls. It would also not have a TV or radio in it. Just books, books and more books all in one room.
Amanda D. says
My ideal library would have plenty of shelving space. I love books and don’t have much storage for them. Someday I would love to have a library a la Beauty and the Beast. (maybe not AS big.) 😉
Joy Linnenbrink says
A big comfy chair with lots of pillows
Teresa says
Lots of comfy places to sit and read together as a family. Books for my 2 kids arranged by genre and level.
Jenn says
My dream library would be a whole room, and it has to have one of those ladders on wheels tho help you reach the books on the top shelves. But seriously, right now, I would settle for a comfy chair near a sunny window!
Terri says
My dream home library has always been the library that the Beast gives Beauty… but, realistically it would have a wall of bookshelves, comfy chairs, and soft lighting. I would have a little desk and a pile of notebooks for writing my thoughts. It would be comfortable and welcoming and the place that the whole family liked to flock to.
Michelle says
I dream of a home library space for my son with lots of comfy places to sit and curl up with his favorites, classic story murals on the walls and shelves of classic kids books from E.B. White, Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss . . . all the must reads for kids, mixed in with lots of new, fun stories.
Gina says
My dream library would be wall to wall books that would span from baby books to books the kiddos could read as young adults. It would be inviting, with toys/pictures/quotes from our favorite books and comfortable seating like couches, chairs, and pillows on the floor!
Anita says
My dream at-home-library would be colorful. It would have books for all my five kids to enjoy. They could each have a shelf for their favorites. There would be a soft rug for them to lay on while they get consumed by a good story and a big chair for lap reading. A library light in the tops of the bookcases and reading posters on the wall.
Homa says
All my life I’ve wanted a library with a little ledge around it and a train (model) zooming around. Oh, and natural light plus a window seat along with my favorite books!
Minnette says
Big oversize comfy chair, a tent, craft area, blankets and fun kids shelving
deb says
A cozy little cubby house with a mountain of cuddly colourful cushions that envelope my children as the explore the critters and creatures jumping from the pages of books chosen from the reachable shelves that are one within their space
Tiffany says
My dream home library would have tons and tons of bookshelves, lots of windows, comfy seating, and books (of course!). And it would be its own separate room, instead of scattered all over the house as it currently is!
MaryLea says
My dream library will have a big squishy love seat with an ottoman with enough room for me to curl up with both of my girls and a big stack of books. A wall of shelves with displays of beautifully illustrated children’s books and a big plate of chocolate chip cookies (homemade) so we don’t starve while we read all rainy afternoon! : ) Thank you for the opportunity – my dream is to someday convert our playroom into a library/music room to enjoy as a family.
Shannon A says
My dream library would have a comfy spot for each child and myself, excellent lighting and lots of books in Spanish and English for my bilingual family. I would also love some of the shelves where the lovely picture books face out to encourage reading.
Cheryl says
A big comfortable chair, large enough to fit parent & child for some snuggling up and reading time!
Gwenn says
I love the idea of comfy chairs, soft rugs, and soft light. I love book baskets organized by themes/subjects/authors, etc. for the little ones as well as a book shelf to display books while showing the covers. How wonderful would it be to have murals painted on the walls or illustrations from famous books?
Tiffany says
Mine would have massaging chair!

jessica says
Oh my goodness, what WOULDN’T my dream at home library have? There would be an actual room full of books, books and more books. With floor to ceiling shelves, a ladder on wheels, a window seat, a large poofy chair,a pile of blankets and quilts perfect for wrapping oneself in. A fireplace or pot bellied stove and extra seating for friends and family to fill. It would be a perfect spot for tea, for reading, for thinking, for writing, for spending time alone or with loved ones.
Sarah Allen says
My dream library would include floor to ceilIng bookshelves and a window seat.
Jacquie F. says
Ladders! You know, the type that roll along the bookshelves like in ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Very tall windows so there would be lots of natural light. Nooks where kids and adults could cozy up with a book – for kids, smaller areas they could crawl into like a fort. For adults, large reading chairs tucked into private corners, and an indoor hammock. And of course, lots of books!
Janna says
My dream library would have lots of things that have been mentioned (the floor to ceiling shelves, ladder, library table, comfy chairs, etc.) plus the 30+ volume set of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED)…the MOST fascinating dictionary in the world! 🙂
Sarah Gore says
A comfortable and fun place for my preschooler to sit, a low shelf for little hands can easily reach the books, and the shelves filled with award winning classic children’s books.

Niki says
My dream library would have all 3 of my children in my arms reading a Dr. Seuss and/or David Shannon book.
Leah says
I would love to have bunches of childrens books for my kiddos. Reading is so important to our family and I think having ourvown library of books would just make reading that much more accessible to the kids.
Erica Triebenbach says
A window seat with comfy cushions, some comfortable chairs and pillows, good lighting, shelving that is low enough for the kids and some higher up for the adults. shelves that allow you to put the kids books face out so its easier to choose without making a messy stack of books on the floor.
JJ says
As many books as I coul fit!
Jenni Shaver says
For me… a really big bathtub with water that stays warm. For my family… a really big chair that rocks and will hold both kids and me comfortably. Oh, and some great books!
Jenny Myers says
I would love something set up in the corner of our family room that has books for all of us. My kids ages range from 12-5&1. Something where I can have a moments peace. 🙂 is that possible? Love the book cases at the preschool where you see the books facing toward you. Hey anything would be better than having to dig them out of a apple box every night.
Karen says
My dream home library would include a very comfy chair, a nice side table for tea, a built in nook, shelves full of my favorite books and references. A window with a country view, and my children in the room reading books with me would make it complete!

A big, comfy chair, a lamp, and too many books!
Kyle Miller says
My dream library has floor to ceiling shelves on all 4 walls, and a rolling ladder so that I can get to the top shelves (the ceiling is at least 12 feet), with a large comfy chair big enough for me to curl up in with a blanket. There’s a stereo so I can play music while I read. The colors are natural. It looks out on a beautiful garden through large glass sliding doors.
Meghan says
I love the idea of a reading tent, a special place to disappear into the imaginary world of books.
Rae says
Would like a place for the entire family to sit and snuggle up to some good books. I would also want the feel of a little hideaway to transport us into the stories! A nook would be a great addition too! Thanks!

Lots of early readers and chapter books to share with my beginning reader. Plus a nice long bench with lots of cozy pillows. Plus we would need some of the best board books for my littlest. I love to read and want to pass that love on to my two girls, we spend lots of time together in books!

Ashley Sumners says
Definitely a big comfy chair to snuggle up in!
Carmen says
My dream library would have a cozy chair for two with plenty of natural light. A comfy window seat would be lovely. I’d also like a fireplace to keep us toasty warm while curled up with our favorite read. Ample, yet unique, shelving is a must filled with all of our favorite authors, classics, and those books we are bound to fall in love with once begun. I would also love to have a collection of audio books and other sorts of media enhancements. For my surface seeking youngster, we need soft supple rugs and perhaps a bean bag chair to hug her while she reads or perhaps a padded cubby hole built into the bookshelving or wall. Wouldn’t white Christmas lights give the room a soothing glow in the evening? We also need a stocked and organized writing desk for recording our thoughts inspired. Organized, inviting, & comfortable. I’m drooling & dreaming at the thought of it all. Thanks for hosting, No Time for Flash Cards, and plenteous thanks to Target for their generous investment in our readers.
Julie Reed says
Plenty of places to sit, walls for floor to ceiling book cases, informal seating and couches big enough for a crowd so that we can read together. A table to spread out a book on and do other things while reading. Lots of natural light 🙂
Ryan says
I would love a nice comfy chair, a beautiful lamp for enough light for evening reading before bedtime, a snuggly blanket and of course lots of books. We have tons of books but always find ourselves reading the same over and over again. Any space that would allow is to spend more time together is always a GREAT space!

As my son is just now beginning to read, I would love to have easy readers for his level now and more books for the years to come.

Brooke says
I would love a big wide comfy chair and ottamon, big enough for us to snuggle and read together.
JennyOH says
My dream library would have a little private space – almost a fort or a hideout – for my little girl to have a special reading spot. Most of all though, I would love to be able to share with my daughter all the classic books I loved as a kid – The Little House, Ferdinand, Mike Mulligan’s Steam Shovel, Blueberries for Sal…I was lucky to have a mother who taught and encouraged me to read from a very young age, and I would love to create the perfect space and collection of books to do the same with my daughter.
Jessica says
A huge comfy hair for snuggle reading with my little boy, ample light and tons of storage for books and writing materials!!!
Tiffany Miller says
The perfect home library would have a huge window to let in lots of natural light, oversized bean bags for lounging, a large chair or love seat for us to sit together and read, and wall shelves of varying sizes to fit many different sizes of books. I would speakers or surround sound for listening to audio books. And of course a wide variety of books about anything and everything. I have a huge appetite for learning new things and I want to share that with my girls as they grow up. My oldest daughter has decided that she may like to be a librarian when she gets older so I would love to have enough shelves to let her come up with an organization system on her own.
My creative side would love to have a dry erase or blackboard wall where we can right our favorite titles, authors, or quotes from books we love!
Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
Genna says

Catie Myers says
My 3 young children would love to have lots of comfy pillows and blankets to snuggle up and read a story individually or have some read to them. It would be nice to have a spot other than the couch! I might try to make a nice covered space for quiet reading and a space for acting out stories.
Audrey says
Built in bookshelves and a cozy chair to curl up in! I would love a whole library room!
Melissa Genter says
Lots of attractive bookshelves, one huge comfy chair that is big enough for 2 kids on your lap at once, and a small comfy chair for each child.

Taraneh says
In my at home library, if i had the space, i would have bean bag chairs and a tent.

Ashley says
A whole room lined with floor to ceiling shelves (we could already fill them), at least two tall windows for lots of natural light, a window seat between, and some wide, comfy chairs so we all have a place to snuggle up together or tuck ourselves in with good books for family reading time.
Amanda says

Reva says
A big window that makes the whole room bright & warm..

Mel says
A comfy loveseat for reading together, a few big pillows on the ground for solo reading, some inspirational wall hangings, big windows for natural lighting, and built-in bookshelves (child-sized, of course) to hold all of our books. We would spend a lot of time in that corner!
cassie k says
One thing in my dream home library would be a comfy and inviting sitting area to curl up and read.
Sandra Birzer says
A comfy chair, lots of easily accessible books, homemade books that my boys made, some audio books, stuffed animal friends to read to, and a nice blanket curl up under!
Michelle C. says
I am a pre-k teacher and I have turned my library into a reading hut! My five year old and one year old love it so much that I plan on making little reading huts at home for them to in each of their rooms.
Steffy says
The perfect reading nook would be in a Turret of a Victorian Home with a shady tree (hopefully home to a little bird family) and lovely garden (with a little fairy house) just outside. Inside would be floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with books from every genre and age. There would be a fireplace and a comfy window seat adorned with handmade cushions and snuggly quilts. Lots of pillows would litter the floor and encourage siblings to snuggle and enjoy picture books together. An intricately detailed globe with the bumps and ridges would stand on a pedestal (for finding places that we discover in our stories), next to an easel full of paper and paints to bring all of those imaginary places to life. Some of those lovely paintings, such as the colorful Hogwarts and Narnia, would be framed and hung in the room, because children’s art is probably the most precious and true… and most frame-worthy. Speaking of Narnia, there would be a “secret-door”, disguised as a bookshelf, leading into a tiny theater, filled with dress-up clothes and props, so that the children could dive further into their stories and plays. And there would be a desk with lots of pencils and pens, maybe an old typer-writer, and plenty of paper, a dictionary and thesaurus, in case one of the readers starts to write. And last, but not least, there would be a sweet, old dog curled up on one of the pillows, whose absolute favorite thing in the whole entire world is to listen to beginning readers read Dr. Suess’s Hop on Pop over and over again.
alianora says
A squishy place to sit, whether that’s a chair or just a bunch of pillows, good light, and something by the windows!
Erin says
I would have a really big chair just perfect for me and my kids and pillows everywhere for some lounging. I would LOVE floor to ceiling bookcases with the kids books on the lower shelves so little hands can grab whatever they want whenever they want them.

It would include myself reading to my daughter! (and lots of cozy pillows and blankets).
Margaret Jenkin says
I would love to have a little room at the top of my house, like a large cupola, that had windows on four sides, half-height bookshelves, and enough space for a comfortable chair for me and a spot for my dog to sprawl out on the floor. I would never come down into the rest of my house!
Jackie says
Our dream library would be a room full of shelves and books. I know silly right but my husband never really daydreams about our dream house but he has so many plans for his future library. Thanks for the giveaway!

Mindy Snyder says
Although we already have a library area in our home, I would love to make it a comfy cozy area where the family can sit, relax, read together and entertain as well. I would like to donate some of the prizes to our local library and the rest can be made into our dream library.
sarah b says
Bright colors, lots of sunlight, lounging seating, tons of books, chalkboard wall, maybe a puppet stage and dress up corner for the little guys. A library for me would be very different. Can I have 2 libraries in my dream?

My dream at-home library would have a window seat/reading nook in it. And, of course, lots and lots of good books!
K Grimm says
My dream library would consist of family faves over the years– my own childhood and college favorites, my husband’s, special titles that my grandparents have loved… And of course, my kids’ absolute favorites. I think it’s so much fun to peruse other people’s libraries, particularly people whom suggest gread reads. So it would be neat to have an “extended family” library. When my kids ask, “what did Great-Grandpa like to read?” I can pull out The Works of Edgar Allen Poe. Or encyclopedias from the 1950s!
heather bell says
Lots of bookshelves! Lots of plants! Lots of chairs!!
Carrie says

Dream library? Just add books and book lovers! 😉
JoEllen says
I have always had this vision of a bay window with a ledge big enough to sit/lay on. I picture sitting on a nice, soft cushioned seat with the warm sun beaming through the glass casting shadows on my next “great find!” With three kids following my footsteps for a love for reading, the dream becomes even more exciting!
Dana Stenzel says
I would love to have a quiet corner with pillows and cushions to curl up in with both my boys. A space that blocks out the rest of the house so that we can get fully immersed in the world of books.
Michelle V. says
my dream library would have a big comfy chair for reading and a window seat!
Raluca says
My dream library would have a big comfy couch for me to sit in, and a little hidden place for my kids to hide and read in. Lots of bean bags and maybe even a cool hammock. Lots and lots of books, ordered first by type and then in alphabetical order the by the author’s name. A coffee machine would bring wonderful smells in the room.
Amy says
I would love to have a separate room with loads of shelves for books for both my 4 1/2 year old and 18 month old. I’d like the room to be bright with colorful walls (maybe framed pictures from our girls’ favorite books?!). They both love to read and we want to continue this love of reading for a lifetime!
cassandra says
if i had a library at home, which we kinda do, i would love to have a corner of my house specifically for it and lots of bookshelves to hold lots of types of books! and a new lamp :o)
Lynette says
My idea library would have lots and lots of cushions, a warm fuzzy carpet, lots of low shelving to contain all the books that my daughter can easily reach and some art work from famous kid authors / books (e.g Curious George) to decorate the walls. Oh I wish … I wish!
Beth says
Lots of quality books, fiction and non-fiction! Lots of poetry books as well! I would love a secret nook or hideout, possibly a tree house for the kids to read in. A nest of fluffy pillows, and a definite must would be a rocking chair for lap time stories!
Danielle says
My dream library would be warm and inviting. Giant, cushy chairs. Floor to ceiling books. One of those rolling ladders. And secret hideouts for my daughter. Books and books and books.
Katie Carr says
At home library?! Sounds beyond heavenly. Since I have three little readers – I would need a really cute corner full of big, cozy chairs and low shelves for kid books with storage for puzzles too.
I would need to have floor to ceiling book cases (with good natural lighting too!) and a chair that makes me never want to leave. An amazing blanket and a great reading lamp. A small table for resting my book and my coffee (or beer – you can have a beer and read a book!). And some kind of natural rug so we can be barefoot – our wood floors are from the 30s. I guess a clock so I don’t lose too much track of time and miss the school bus drop off or read until its too late for enough sleep. We are lucky to have a great public library with an amazing kid section but I would love to have a room at home for it too!
Nick says
My ideal learning space/library would be one that I would have to fight to drag my son from. It would be the best cubby/fort in the world. He would be able to change the decorations to fit what he is reading for each type of subject he is involved in.
Laura says
My dream library would have lots of natural light to read by as well as lots of bookshelves full of books. I would also want several comfortable chairs and some lamps with natural light bulbs to read by at night.

Lillie Massingill says
A hammock , classical music playing on speakers, a window with a beautiful view and BOOKS!
Mandy B says
O my… My dream library would contain wall to wall books, floor to ceiling. Old books, new books, fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, classics and as much as I can fit in between. I would have some soft spaces to sit, and a favorite oversized chair to snuggle in with what I am reading. What I could not fit on shelves, could fit into my Nook, that can be easily taken wherever I need to go without worry about damaging my books. I would have a special space to sit with my son and read to him…probably some kind of book tent, or secret alcove just for us to read in and explore the world through reading!
Kellie Conklin says
Oh, what wouldn’t I want for my dream home library? I would love it to have a large window with a comfortable seat right next to it, a huge chair where two people could sit together, and lots of bins of quality books. I believe that having a large selection of books keeps kids engaged and interested in reading. It would also be awesome to have some sort of secret area to read in. Thanks for the information and amazing giveaway!
kconklin1028@gmail.com
Kim B says
Our dream library would have a bean bag. We’ve not had one for 5 years, and we miss it. Appropriate lighting, in the form of a cute lamp, would be high on the list, too.
Kellie says
My dream home library would have doors so we could get lost in the journey that books take us on while shutting out the world, and comfy seating, of course.
Erica says
Real books and lots of them! Nothing beats holding a book and turning pages. I would also have a couple comfy chairs that are the perfect size for my son & me to spend the day lost in wherever our latest book takes us.
Lori Summers says
My dream library would have a big comfy chair where I can cuddle with my daughter and read wth her, and lots of books on many topics that are easily accessible for everyone as well as a nice reading lamp
Jessica Y. says
A huge bay window with a lounge or daybed or reading chair with a wall full of books and a fireplace nearby. I’d love to have one wall just for the kids and have them have their own special chair and space. It would be a room for the entire family to gather and read. Oh, and a giant rug for sprawling out and reading on in front of the fire 🙂
Sarah C says
Colorful, large bean bag chairs, walls of full of rain gutter shelves, regular built in bookshelves all the way to the ceiling with a little spiral staircase to a landing to reach the top ones, and lovely books – all FIAR bks, and the 1000 Good Book list, an awesome biography section, plus little reading nooks, great lighting, somehow lots of windows too, aahh, I could go on….

I want a library like my mom has. A couple of comfy recliners. A fire place. A piano. And a bunch of classics from my childhood.
Sarah says
I would love to have a cozy window seat hidden away by curtains so little ones (and maybe even me!) can disappear for a time into the world of their book. I love to create little nooks and special places in our house for reading or a little pretend play. 🙂 What a great giveaway! Thanks, Target!
Mrs. Ryan says
My dream at-home library would have comfortable chairs, good reading light and a spot for my two girls to cuddle up with me or their dad and listen to stories.
PAULA says
To me it is all about having the perfect spot to sit and get lost in a great book. I hope to pass on my love of reading to my son and so far it looks like we are headed that way:) I would love it if he could have a special reading nook tucked away in the house just for him. A small loft space or a little cubby in a corner just his size with a comfy chair to sit for hours and read in his space. It would have shelves all around the chair so he could store his favorite books and the ones he is currently working on.
Traci says
Big windows with flowing white drapes
Felicia says
My dream library would require a much bigger house. You know in the movies when you walk into a room that is covered from floor to high ceiling with book shelves, spiral staircases, and lots of comfy seats. I want it like that but I would also like clouds painted on the ceilings and a lot of bright colorful things to bring out the imagination.
Autumn says
Comfy chairs, soft blankets, perfect lighting, and TONS of books!
Dawn Shipley says
My dream library would be situated in a quiet nook off of the living room, with low bookshelves below a big window. The top of the bookshelves would have displayed books (perhaps from a recent library trip!) and puzzles. The books would be full of my little ones’ favorites and we would cycle new books in frequently. A cozy beanbag chair for an independent reader, and a wide club chair for a snuggled pair (or trio!). Soft lighting would illuminate the space and a soft rug would cover the floor, and a few plants would hang from the ceiling. A nearby aquarium would provide enough white noise to make sure each noise from the home doesn’t distract…
I think it would be a perfect corner to cozy up and spend a day lost in a great book!
Heather says
My dream library would have a window, pillows to cuddle up in, and lots of books – old and new, fiction and nonfiction, long and short.
Brandy says
A zillion books!
Katie says
My dream at-home library would have a fire place, window seat, cozy furniture, and tons and tons of books!

My dream home library would look something like the library from Beauty and the Beast. If I could just live in a library, I would! As it is now, I have books packed in boxes because I don’t have enough storage space. It makes me sad!
Julie Martinchick says
I would love 2 cozy chairs and lights so both of my girls could read at the same time. I also need storage! We have so many books we can’t find the ones we want when we want them!! A Nook would help that problem!!!
Jessie says
A really cozy chair, and a full-sized set of Oxford English Dictionary volumes. (I have the compact one, and I have to get out the magnifying glass that it comes with to read it.) 😀
Julie says
An oversized comfy chair with LOTS of books!!!!
B Fryman says
a rolling ladder!
Dawn-Marie Jackson says
I am always pin-ing library space ideas on Pinterest. My most often pinned item is organizational things like shelves. I have 3 boys ages 9, 6, and 3. I’d love to designate places for each of them within the Reading Nook. Comfy seating and blankets to snuggle while reading are a necessity too. My little one would love a cd player for his books “outloud” (a set of headphones would be nice too). My oldest LOVES to read books within a series. My middle boy would benefit from the Nook with learning to read apps. He’s my struggling reader. What a great sweepstakes! Thanks:)
Jacque Tacha says
Lots of good books!!

Id love to have a roller ladder in an old-fashioned library filled with thousands of books.
Vonnie says
I’ve been trying to get everything ready for my dream library. I want book shelves, from floor to ceiling lining 3 out of four walls. On the blank wall, posters related to books and adventure with comfy bean-bag chairs underneath. I’d like mesh curtain hanging from the ceiling surrounding one of the bean bags as a “secluded” reading spot. There will also be one of those small shelves they have a book stores with books facing cover-out for easy-access board books. SO MUCH I WANT TO DO.
Andrea says
I am an elementary school teacher so you can imagine my love of books! When my husband and I go to Barnes and Noble he always manages to find me cross legged on the floor in front the picture books. My dream library would be one full of quality literature for little ones as well as adults. Lots and lots of books with lots of bookcases to put them on. A cozy share-able chair is a must for rainy days and bedtime stories. Library ladder and secret room behind the shelves is optional. lol =)
Di says
My dream library would have lots of great books, but it would also be a place where I could escape the world and get lost in a book. A cozy nook, a soft, comfortable chair, and a place to set a drink.
Julie says
A sunny built-in bench with lots and lots of pillows surrounded by book shelves…
Kim Collins says
Floor to ceiling book shelves with lots of cheesey fiction books of the Nicholas Sparks kind, every book written or yet to be written by Francis Chan and Matt Chandler, a big cosy arm chair with an oversized ottoman, a cute reading floor lamp, a light but soft blanket, and my own personal barista in the kitchen next to it!

LOTS of windows, including skylights, built in bookcases, a chaise lounge, and my favorite diet soft drink nearby!
Monica says
Oh, that is so hard! Really I am envisioning a smallish reading nook, since anything bigger is out of the scope of my imagination, but it would have several beanbag chairs, a fuzzy rug, good lamps, and lots of low bookcases full of books, maybe even those “gutter” variety ones where the covers face out; such a nice idea, easy for the kids to see the books and easy to put them away… someday I will do this!
Wendy F. says
Tall, rolling ladders to the top shelf!
Sarah says
My dream library would have lots of natural light, a big, comfy chair with ottoman, lots of bookshelves, and artwork based on favorite kid’s books.

Jana McKee says
Reading all of these responses has inspired me to work on creating a better reading nook this summer! I love that we have our books arranged in tubs by genre but I need more bookshelves! I also need some seating, like maybe an oversized beanbag chair, big enough for me and my 2 little ones now but one they can “grow” into as they get older.
Susie says
My dream at-home library would have an extra wide rocking chair so that my kids can snuggle with me and I don’t get squished. We’d have more early reader books, as my daughter is just learning to read on her own.
Peggy Lawrence says
I have an 18 month old grandchild so I would have a beanbag chair, bookshelf and loads and loads of books
Thanks for the opportunity
Kristina says

My dream library would have comfy seating for cuddling up with my little ones, and tons of classics for reading to them! Picture books galore, because really, who doesn’t like picture books? I would love a window seat someday, for just such a library. And maybe a cabinet with originals! I love the way old books look, feel, and especially how they smell. Our family would definitely put to use a nice space to share our love of books and reading with our children!
Erin Quinn says
Thank you so much for this GREAT giveaway! All my reading right now is with my small children so my dream library for us/them is a place with beanbags and comfy chairs and racks/shelves on the walls designed so the books face outward and the kids can see all the covers to choose from. 🙂 Thanks!

A locking door, so I could have ten uninterrupted minutes. I would love my kid’s library to have a cozy swing.

I would have banned books in my library, and I would explain the job of a librarian in to keep information free and accessible.
Kirsten says
My dream children’s library would have tons and tons of books for my kids to look at and also some sort of librarian/helper to steer us in the right direction. I love our local library, but it’d be nice to have a helper put all the books back on shelves at home, too!
Katherine Worgen says
It would be a little cozy loft built around the window with lots of pillows!!!
Alicia Cormier says

It is not practical at all), bean bag chairs and oversized pillows and a few blankets! I hope to set up a nice, cozy and inviting reading space. 🙂
Amy D. says
I grew up with a library in our house, so I would have similar things in our library. Comfy couch so that all the kids and I can be on there reading. Book shelves and a small table with chairs. And lots of light! We had a sky light in our library growing up, and that was great!

What can I say, my 6-year-old loves hot tubs!
Erin Filon says
Reading is a magical gift to give to children. An inviting, creative and comfortable place that engages a child to be excited about books will enhance their excitement. A calming, soothing yet colorful environment with tons of books and comfy places to read would be perfect. I would love lots of book bins to categorize the books would also make it easier for my child to independently access her books.
Marie Smith says
Oh my! Thanks to you and Target for this awesome give away!!! Dream library? *Squeal* Lots of space for our books. My son is visually impaired and if his fingers are sensitive enough, he will need to learn braille to make him an efficient reader. And braille cannot be squished or you can’t feel the dots so we’ll need lots of space for the braille books we’ve been slowly but surely acquiring. Thanks again!

My elementary school library had a “narnia” book corner- I think it was a storage closet, but it had been painted with Narnia scenes and was full of cushions to snuggle into and read. There was always a wait to get in there. Lately I’ve been thinking that I’d love to create a corner like that in our house for our kids- somewhere that feels secret and cozy and that calls you to come in and do some reading 🙂
