Downtown Books in Dothan, Ala., which is in the process of moving from 150 North Foster St. to 179 North Foster St., enlisted the help of volunteers Monday evening to move thousands of books from the old location to the new.
Per the Wiregrass Daily News, dozens of volunteers took part in the event, which was dubbed the "Great Downtown Book Move." The bookstore provided pizza and bottled water for everyone who helped, and volunteers were also entered into a prize raffle.
The new space is larger and will allow Downtown Books to host bigger events, store owner Stacey Fountain told WDHN.
The bookstore shared a video recap of the move, saying: "What happens when an entire community shows up to support a local business? Absolute magic.... From the very first book packed to the final cheer echoing down the street, the energy at The Great Downtown Bookstore Book Move was nothing short of incredible."
