🧱📚 Double Feature at Sequatchie County Public Library : LEGO Night and Book Club

Sequatchie County Public Library in Dunlap is bringing two back-to-back programs to the community in one evening, blending hands-on creativity with literary conversation. Whether families are looking for a fun seasonal activity or book lovers want to dive into a mystery discussion, the library is offering something for everyone.

🎃 LEGO Night with Build-a-Pumpkin Challenge

The evening kicks off with LEGO Night from 4:00-6:00 PM, featuring a Build-a-Pumpkin Challenge designed for all ages. 🧱 Participants are invited to use the library’s LEGO collection to construct their own pumpkins-whether spooky, silly, colorful, or completely unique. The library provides all the bricks; visitors just need to bring their imagination. Families are welcome, making it an accessible way for households across Sequatchie County to spend time together during the fall season.

📖 Monthly Book Club: Darling Girls

At 6:00-7:00 PM, the library’s monthly Book Club convenes to discuss Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth. 💭 The novel follows three sisters-Jessica, Norah, and Alicia-who grew up together in foster care under the care of Miss Fairchild. When a body is discovered beneath their childhood home years later, the sisters must confront buried memories and face questions about their own roles in the mystery. The library welcomes new members to join the conversation and share perspectives on the book. Attendees are asked to arrive a few minutes before 6:00 PM, as doors lock at that time.

✨ Why This Matters for the Community

Programming like this strengthens the library’s role as a community gathering place beyond its traditional function as a repository for books. 💙 By hosting family-friendly activities alongside adult book discussions, Sequatchie County Public Library creates opportunities for different generations and interests to engage with learning and creativity. The back-to-back format also allows households to participate in multiple programs in one visit, making efficient use of time for busy families in the valley.

Both programs are held at Sequatchie County Public Library, located at 227 Cherry Street in Dunlap. For more information, residents can contact the library at (423) 949-2357 or visit their website.
