Target: under served areas want quality books for infants and toddlers

The Issue

Our issue is not having age appropriate books in the under served communities Target is located. I have gone into affluent communities and see a robust and inviting section for infants and toddlers. Yet there is discussion about under served children not reading on their level and having social and emotional challenges.

Seems to me corporation such as Target is contributing to the problem. We have given them an opportunity to respond but nothing. You have a social responsibility to provide access Mr. Brian Cornell, CEO shares how they support diversity. DiversityInc ranks the company #22 on the companies that support diversity.

However, actions reflect otherwise. We sent the company a letter in January 2016, we have yet to receive a response.

Join us in letting target know the under served community has an interest in reading to our infants and toddlers the community needs access.
