Head straight for/to

Hi

Is either of them correct and mean the same here?

After she reaches the town, she must head straight to/for the library.

'to' suggests more strongly that she will reach the library. 'for' suggests more strongly that the library is her intended destination (whether she ultimately reaches it or not) But in practical terms, both have the same meaning. CJ
