Drive-up Book Donation
Day is Friday, July 12
For September's Centenary
Book Bazaar
SHREVEPORT, LA--The Centenary Muses
will hold a drive-up book donation day for the Centenary College Book Bazaar
on Friday, July 12, with volunteers on hand at this year's new collection
location.
Signs along East Kings Highway will
direct book donors to the drop-off tent nearby on Oak Street. Book Bazaar
headquarters are now located at 108 East Kings, across the street from
the former Brocato's Restaurant. The "Book House" telephone number
is 219-3409.
Volunteers will be on hand from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. July 12 to assist donors with their contributions of books,
CDs, audiotapes and videotapes that will be sold during the Sept. 13-14
Book Bazaar. The annual event, sponsored by the Centenary Muses, is a benefit
for Centenary students.
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, which include the
final collection day on Aug. 9, can leave their books in the waterproof
bins that are outside 108 East Kings. Pick-up of large collections
is available on request.
The 16th 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.
