Young crafters at #StocktonCentralLibrary were on cloud nine as they created parachutes and aeroplanes before sending them on their maiden flights. There were plenty of smiles, lots of laughter and some very impressive flying skills on display!

Hello everyone! ☀️ I know it’s hot and none of us can really be bothered, but it’s been a pretty awful week for sales at Fox Lane Books, and so far today we’ve sold one £7.99 paperback. That’s it. And unfortunately, I can’t pay bills and wages on that. So, if you fancy a browse from the comfort of your sofa, desk, garden chair… we’d be incredibly grateful. We’ve just added some VERY exciting new #SIGNED books, plus lots of new titles to our #SALE for anyone watching pennies. Every single order genuinely makes a difference to a tiny indie like ours. Please support indie bookshops when you can. We really do need you 🦊🧡📚 FoxLaneBooks.co.uk #ShopIndie #IndieBookshop #SupportSmallBusiness #FoxLaneBooks #BookTwt #BookTwitter #BookX
