How a Small-Town Art Installation Became an Unlikely TikTok Sensation

A collage captures a TikTok sensation: a statue of the Virgin Mary, an elderly woman with a child in a white dress, a Marlboro pack, a wedding couple, and a medical appointment card for treatment. Handwritten text reads This book stinks: all about drugs + sex.

The maker of the small-town installation seen in this TikTok is Ali Beaudette, who has been working in libraries since she was 15 years old. While still in high school, a colleague of hers, who was about to retire, gave her a precious collection. For 20 years, this colleague accrued ticket stubs, photos, playing cards, and more that people had left behind in their library books, presumably as bookmarks.
