A SAD LOSS

It pains me to say, but one of the independent toy stores that carried my books last year is closing. Fun Among Us, Gloucester, is closing its doors at this end of June, says the store manager. This is a sad loss not just to the Gloucester community but to all communities. The loss of a small independent toy store is a sad loss.

Please, keep supporting the local, independent stores. If you can, buy your toys and books at these shops that I have the books in. The list is basically all the independent toy stores and book stores on the North Shore (minus a few here and there). They are great stores and they try their best to support the communities they are in.
