CB East Book Drive Gets Star's Attention

Ludacris thanked the local kids in a Tweet Tuesday.

Rapper Ludacris gave a shout out on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, praising the local efforts of Central Bucks East students to collect books for New Orleans.

"Congratulations to Central Bucks HS East in PA. They collected over 30,000 books" he said on Twitter.

Ludacris helped promote the Epic Book Drive to re-stock New Orleans libraries. More than 8 out of 10 schools in the Louisiana city were damaged during Hurricane Katrina; in the worst-off areas, there is only 1 book for 300 children, according to the campaign's organizers.
