LSU BOOK BAZAAR ... Coming Soon!

Never throw away a book.  Unless a book has been mangled by the dog or soaked with coffee, someone will be willing to pay a small price for the opportunity to read your used book.  Even if books are not in good enough condition to be sold, libraries accepting the donations will often "re-gift" and donate those books to schools and troops overseas.  Give a used book to a friend, sell it on Ebay, or donate it to a local library.  The more we read the smarter we are!

The Friends of the LSU Libraries are getting prepared for their annual book bazaar which is open to the public.  Proceeds will help to fund purchases for library collections.

Thursday, March 4, 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Friday, March 5, 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, March 6, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The bazaar is located in two buildings:  the 4-H Mini-Barn, which is the red building next to the Parker Coliseum, and the Nelson Building next door to the mini-barn.

GET THERE EARLY.  Customers start lining up at 6:00 a.m. on opening day. 

All of the books being sold at the bazaar have been donated by the general public.  Donations are accepted at Kean's the Cleaners locations and at the Book Barn located behind the LSU Printing Office, off of River Road, just north of the LSU Veterinary Medicine complex.

*** Books are not currently being accepted while volunteers are cataloging and sorting to get ready for the bazaar.  After the bazaar they will begin to accept donations again.

Interested in cheap books during the year?  You don't always have to wait for the Book Bazaar.  The Book Barn is the Friends' used bookstore, open for the sale of books on:

               Mondays from 9:00 a.m. until noon and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Over 30 Book Barn volunteers work throughout the year to make the Book Barn operations a success.

This a great way for teachers to purchase books for their classrooms.  You know books have a way of walking.  With the inexpensive purchase of books at the Book Barn you don't have to be concerned if those voracious readers don't return a book. 

There are loads of textbooks for students.  While they are not normally the most recent edition required for a particular class, supplemental textbooks give the student additional study material as well as chapter problems and questions to help study for that big test.

Parents will also find a lot of books at reasonable prices for their children and, of course, for their own leisure reading.

A lot of people have donated many hours of their time to making the Book Barn a success.  I hope you and your family will have the time and the opportunity to enjoy this experience.
