<!-- Fontawesome 5-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous">

<!-- Sticky Social Share CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery-social-share-bar.css">

<!-- Sticky Social Share JS -->
