Esali Birth is continuously updating their lending library – check back often for new additions. Don’t see a title available? Ask us about purchasing!

The following is a list of available resources for the Mid-Ohio Valley.  These are free for Esali Birth students, but require a donation for all those not currently enrolled in an EB local series. Titles marked with an astrisk “*” are highly recommended, especially if they can be read during the prenatal period.

We always accept donations of carriers, wraps, and resources.  Please contact us for details – when budgets are available, we will purchase used carriers.
