Babywearing International of DC-MD-VA maintains a lending library available to members of Babywearing International. Carriers can be tried at meetings by anyone who attends a meeting, but only paid members may borrow carriers. This post lists items available to be borrowed for a term no longer than one month. Members are allowed to borrow from the library at no charge, however late returns will encounter a late fee. Late fees will be applied to carrier maintenance and to the fund to add new carriers to the library. Information on membership can be found here.
