Join us for our seventh annual Sit & Read Auction!

The Sit & Read Auction is an opportunity for our community to bid on hand-crafted, locally-created works of art for children. Pieces available include hand-painted children's chairs, bookshelves, wall shelves, growth charts, and first-day-of-school boards. This year we will also have front-porch "welcome" signs available at auction. Also included in the evening's events will be a silent auction offering themed baskets containing curated items for children.

Help us continue to serve the children in Pulaski County with the life-long gift of literacy through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Proceeds support the monthly mailing of books to the youngest in our community. We currently serve approximately 1,000 children, birth to age 5, at a cost of $30.00 per child per year. Since our nonprofit's inception in 2013, we've delivered 69,750 books to Pulaski County children!

Please join us at our auction on October 22 in support of early literacy in Pulaski County. A play space will be available for children, light appetizers will be served and local musicians will serenade us. It's a night of celebration and appreciation you won't want to miss.
