The sling library enjoyed the trip to Shipley to the Happy BIRTHday event last weekend – many thanks to the organisers. It was lovely to see so many happy carried babies and be at the centre of all the slinging action! There have been several carrier changes in the library recently with a couple ofContinue reading “WYSL news”

A bit of news on the library opening times! I’m at home with my daughter who came home from school last week with chicken pox. Obviously we want to avoid passing this on to any library visitors, so please read below for the precautions in place this week. As from to-day (Monday 26th March 2012) theContinue reading “Library openings and closures…”

The West Yorkshire Sling Library will have a stall at the Pampernatal Event on Sunday 11am-3pm.

The library will be there chatting to parentsContinue reading “Bumps and Babies Pampernatal Event, Sunday 11th March”

Each week in the library I direct parents to the wonderful world of sling and carrier videos on Youtube – there are millions, some good, some bad, and some hilarious! I have created a WYSL collection of the ones I most commonly recommend, so you can watch again at home in instant replay with yourContinue reading “Videos, as promised!”

Unfortunately the WYSL has to close for drop-in help and advice tomorrow due to ill health. If your carrier is due back this week you are welcome to an extra seven day rental free of charge, so all carriers due back 12/10/11 will now be due back 19/10/11 and so on. Basic rentals, renewals and returns can beContinue reading “Library closed 12/10/11”

The WYSL is happy to welcome a special guest tomorrow! Mari Greenfield, who trained at Trageschule UK at the same time I did, will be running the library for part of the day. Mari is very experienced in choosing and fitting carriers and it will be lovely to have an extra pair of hands. AllContinue reading “A special guest in the library”

Two new carriers have arrived in the library with the addition of two new library supporters. I am proud to have the backing of some of the best and most knowledgable online carrier businesses there are and these two are no exception. Slingjax sold me one of my first ever carriers and it arrived within 18 hours ofContinue reading “And a word from our supporters…”
