7 Reasons Why You Should Go to the Centenary Book Bazaar

SHREVEPORT, LA - If you have never heard about this event, let me tell you why it's so great. The Centenary Book Bazaar is the place to go if you love reading. Old fashioned grab a book and curl up in the chair and read a book. These folks have collected thousands and thousands of books and are selling them at bargain basement prices.

But you will find so much more than books.

Here are my top 7 reasons why you really should stop by this weekend.

1. Great prices on books.

You will find paperbacks prices as low as .50 cents. But you will also find beautiful coffee table books for only a few bucks.

2. Albums

If you love vinyl, this might be the one place to find a huge selection of classic albums that will bring you back to a beloved time in your life.

3. Classic Children's Books

The collections they have are astonishing and some of these books date back more than 100 years. You might find something worth a fortune on the shelves this weekend.

4. Benefits a Great Cause

The Centenary Muse's put on this event every year and all the money raised goes back to fund projects and programs for Centenary students.

5. Audio Books

I know a lot of folks like to listen to audio books these days and now this huge sale also has a great selection of audio books and very low prices.

6. DVD's

If you love to collect movies, this is the place to find all kinds of great titles.

7. Unbelievable Selection

You never know what you might find. I stumbled upon a Julia Child first edition cookbook one year. There is just so much to browse through. All of these items are donated throughout the year, so this is a great way to keep the prices low and raise money at the same time.
