Drive-up
Book Donation Day is Friday, April 6 for Next September's
Centenary College Book Bazaar
SHREVEPORT, LA--The
second drive-up book donation day for the Centenary College Book Bazaar
will be held Friday, April 6.
Volunteers will be
on hand that day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 145 Wilkinson, the blue house
east of the tennis courts at the intersection of Wilkinson Street and Centenary
Boulevard. They will assist donors with their donations of books,
CDs, tapes and videos that will, in turn, be sold at the Sept. 14-15 benefit
event.
Organizers are seeking
old and new books in both hardback and paperback, except for magazines
and condensed books, which are not solicited.
Those wishing to donate
books at times other than the monthly drive-up donation days can leave
their books on the porch or in the waterproof bins at the "Book House"
any time, organizers said. Those with large donations that need to
be picked up are asked to call Centenary’s Office of Service Learning at
869-5542.
The 15th annual Centenary
College Book Bazaar will be held in the Gold Dome. The sale, which
draws thousands of shoppers, is expected to offer more than 30,000 books
at bargain prices. Co-chairs are Dian Tooke, director of service learning
at Centenary, and Hazel Fleck, community volunteer.
