Wiggle Worms Story Time (Birth – Age 3)

Program for kids ages birth-3 and their caregivers.

A play-based music and movement story time for young children and their caregivers!

At Essex Library, we are committed to providing high-quality story time experiences that foster early literacy, social-emotional growth, and a lifelong love of learning.

What to expect:

Each Wiggle Worms session begins with a welcome song where children (or caregivers) are invited to introduce themselves (or their little one), helping build confidence. We sing interactive songs that encourage vocabulary development and gross motor movement, then share a story together while modeling early literacy skills by pointing to words, turning pages, and engaging with the book. After the first book, we play and sing with interactive toys such as shakers, scarves, and rhythm sticks before we wrap up with one final story and a goodbye song.

After story time, families are encouraged to stay, play, and socialize in our Children’s Room. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to make friends, caregivers to connect, and our library community to grow together.

This story time will take place every Tuesday morning. Due to space, Please choose 1 session per day to attend.

Essex Library programs are free and open to the public.

No registration required.
