Our library meets are held in the Centre of Salisbury and Fordingbridge so there are two meets per month. Our calendar of upcoming events can be found here.
Attendance to our library meets is subject to appointment ONLY. If you haven’t pre-booked, you will not be able to see one of our peer supporters for help and advice. Here’s what to do in 10 easy steps:
1. Pre-book your 10 minute appointment via our booking system. Firstly, choose your preferred venue from our calendar of meeting dates here.
2. This will take you to the event information, where you can choose your preferred time slot.
3. Once you have booked, you will receive an email “your booking has been received”. One of the Sling Library volunteers will then process your booking and confirm it.
4. You will then receive a “Your booking has been confirmed” email.
5. Please set up a Library account if you intend on making a hire. you can do that here
6. We do now accept card payments as well as cash or bank transfer. if you need to rehire and you are not returning to a meet to pay please use the details below to send us your fee for the following month.

If you specifically would like advice about stretchy wraps or newborn carrying, please book into the Stretchy Wrap demonstration, which is a 25 minute talk and demo about the 4th trimester and using a stretchy wrap. By attending, you also qualify to hire one of our Boba cotton stretchies for 3 months for just £10!
9. If you are coming along to a meet with a partner please only book one appointment per child, not adult.
10. do contact us either by email or on our Facebook page if you have any questions.
ENJOY YOUR SLING! Remember, we are here for help via the Facebook group, Salisbury Sling Talk and Library, if you get home and need a bit of troubleshooting, or you can always book into another library meet as above.
Alternatively, if you find you just need more time, would like a home appointment or need more specific or in depth advice, please contact us as some of our volunteer consultants can accommodate this.
