The Friends of Centenary will operate their next to last drive-through book collection day on Friday, July 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Centenary campus. The final collection day will be held Aug. 2 prior to the Sept. 13-14 Friends of Centenary Book Bazaar, an annual event which draws over 30,000 participants to the college's Gold Dome.

Volunteers will be on hand under the maroon-and-white tent near the Meadows Museum, 2911 Centenary Boulevard, to collect donated books of all types.

For large donations, call the Office of Special Gifts at 869-5103, for pick-up arrangements. For donations any time, donors can use the waterproof bins at 145 Wilkinson St., Book Bazaar headquarters.

If it rains, the drive-through will be held on Friday, July 12.

The Book Bazaar will celebrate its 10th anniversary this fall with a number of special activities.
