Activity

Program designed for caregivers and their child, age birth – 2. In Baby Keepsake, our sensory art explorations expose baby to a variety of textures, while creating something to remember your little one in their youngest years. This month: Summer’s not over just yet! Bring your little one to create a beach sand handprint keepsake. All supplies will be provided, but if you took a trip to the beach this year and would like to add any personal shells you found, bring them along! We’ll make the handprint at the library, and then caregivers can take them home to bake them in the oven to harden (instructions provided). What to Expect: We’ll gather together for a brief lap sit story session, and then caregivers and babies will work together to make our keepsake! Essex Library programs are free and open to the public. Registration is required. Click here to register.

Celebrate National Teddy Bear Day at the library by bringing your favorite stuffed friend to a cozy evening story time! We'll sing songs, share heartwarming stories, and make special memories alongside our cuddly companions. Grab your favorite teddy bear (or any beloved stuffed animal) and join us for an evening full of fun, friendship, and snuggles! Essex Library programs are free and open to the public. No registration is required, drop in!
