“Fast Five” star Ludacris is helping launch an effort serving the students in the Recovery District of New Orleans.
Global bookstore Better World Books and teen not-for-profit DoSomething.org are launching an “Epic Book Drive” initiative, which will empower young people nationwide to run community book drives to re-stock libraries in New Orleans’ Recovery School District. Better World Books will provide free shipping to all groups organizing drives and will schedule a pick-up for any group that collects over 150 full cartons of books.
“Our partnership with DoSomething.org and the New Orleans’ Recovery School District is a perfect fit for us. Our mission is to support literacy initiatives worldwide and our operations are large enough to handle a national program of this scale. We look forward to seeing students all over the country band together and make this book drive as Epic as the name implies,” says Chris Johnson, Vice President of Better World Books.
