Target Commercial Interiors is proud of its role in providing furnishings for these unique, creative and highly functional school library makeovers.

    I just transferred to Forest Grove Middle School in Fort Pierce, Flordia as a Library Media Specialist. How do I apply to enter my middle school library for a chance at a make-over? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
