Music categories include classical, rock, country and western, rhythm and blues, rare albums, and more. Proceeds are used to fund projects and programs for Centenary College students. Past projects include providing carillon chimes; camping and exercise equipment; the New York Times delivered daily to the Student Union Building; a $1,000 scholarship fund; picnic tables; furniture for residence halls, classroom buildings, and the administration building; and graduation day events for students and parents,. The book sale has become an annual favorite of book collectors, students, and casual readers.
