Williams, Ervins Make Library READesign A Success

Redskins alumni Doug Williams and Ricky Ervins visited Capitol Heights Elementary on Thursday to celebrate the school's newly redesigned library.

Just a few hours before the students at Capitol Heights Elementary School toured their brand new library, close to 30 people were still organizing and putting together the final touches to a transformative learning center.

Workers from Keller Williams Preferred Properties, in partnership with the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation, provided the library -- once a dimly lit, cluttered space -- a “READesign,” turning it into a bright, technology-friendly environment.

Those that came to help, including volunteers from The Heart of America Foundation and Redskins alumni Doug Williams and Rick Ervins, provided an “Extreme Makeover-type” final day to a month-long renovation.
