📚 Whale of a Book Sale & Silent Auction Comes to Dunlap – Early Christmas Shopping Opportunity

Friends of Sequatchie County Public Library is gearing up for its annual Whale of a Book Sale & Silent Auction, a beloved community fundraiser that combines bargain book hunting with a chance to bid on curated gift items. The event runs October 21-24, with all proceeds supporting library programs and services that serve Sequatchie County residents.

🎁 Silent Auction Preview & Holiday Shopping

The silent auction component offers a head start on Christmas shopping, whether you’re hunting for yourself or family and friends. Organizers have been sharing sneak peeks of auction items in the weeks leading up to the sale, building anticipation and giving shoppers a sense of what’s available. Featured items include spa baskets, calendars, and themed gift bundles-each with opening bid values ranging from $10 to $40 and higher.

🗓️ How to Participate

Bidding opens Wednesday, October 21 at 10 a.m. and closes Thursday, October 24 at noon. Items will be available for bid throughout the four-day event, giving community members multiple opportunities to place bids and secure their selections.
