📚 Whale of a Book Sale & Silent Auction Comes to Dunlap This Weekend

The Friends of Sequatchie County Public Library is hosting a major fundraiser that brings together book lovers, bargain hunters, and community supporters for three days of reading treasures and silent auction bidding. The event runs through Saturday in Dunlap, with a special bag-day finale that makes it easy to stock up on reads.

🗓️ Event Schedule & Details

The Whale of a Book Sale & Silent Auction opens today and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. central time. Saturday shifts to Bag Day, when visitors can fill as many provided paper bags as they like for just $5 each-a popular format that encourages browsers to take home armfuls of books at a steep discount. 📖

The event is located at 103 Heard Street in Dunlap, making it easy for valley residents and nearby communities to stop by throughout the three-day run.

💰 Silent Auction & Bidding

Beyond the book sale itself, the Friends of Sequatchie County Public Library has curated a selection of silent auction items open for bidding. Visitors are invited to place bids during their visits-or return to update existing bids as the auction progresses. This dual-format approach gives supporters multiple ways to contribute to the library’s mission while hunting for their next great read. ✨

❤️ Supporting Your Local Library

Proceeds from the book sale and silent auction support the Sequatchie County Public Library, a cornerstone resource for readers, students, and families across the valley. By attending, shoppers directly help the library expand its collections, programs, and services for the community.
