Human chain of goodness.
Michelle Tuplin, the owner of Serendipity Books in Chelsea, Michigan, tells ABC News that about 300 community members volunteered last Sunday to move 9,100 books to a new shop about a block away.
ABC News writes:
Families, kids and strangers formed two lines that stretched about a block from Serendipity Books' former location at 108 East Middle Street to its new spot on 119 S. Main Street, and video of the grassroots event went viral after the bookstore shared it on social media, with the clip picking up over 1.6 million views on TikTok in just two days.
"I had no idea how far we would get and if we would even make it that far. And so, when I came down the steps of the old store and looked, turned the corner, and I saw this line … I really struggled to hold it together," Tuplin told ABC News.
@serendipitybooktok POV: your community shows up 300 strong to help move your ENTIRE BOOKSTORE around the corner to your new location.
