Drive-up Book Donation Day is Friday, June 14 for Next September's Centenary Book Bazaar

SHREVEPORT, LA--The Centenary Muses will hold their next drive-up book donation day for the Centenary College Book Bazaar on Friday, June 14, with volunteers 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. June 14 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 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 also include July 12 and 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.  It is sponsored by the Centenary Muses.
