We conclude our time together with 3-4 craft and play centers that help children develop their early math\, literacy\, and motor skills. \nAfter 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. \nEssex Library programs are free and open to the public. \nRegistration is requested to ensure enough crafts are prepared. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Trusts: Everything You Wanted to Know but Didn’t Know To Ask (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Register for this virtual program HERE. \nIs having a trust in your estate plan the best option for you? In this session\, estate planning and elder law attorney Erin Duques of Daly Perri Arnold & Knierim in Madison\, will demystify trusts and explain why a trust may – or may not – be suitable for you and why. First\, you’ll learn about some of the most common types of trusts and the purpose and benefits of each\, such as protecting assets\, avoiding probate\, minimizing taxes\, and keeping public benefits for a loved one with special needs. Whether you are new to trusts or even understand them well\, you’ll walk away understanding how and when to use these powerful planning tools to your advantage. \nThis Essex Library Association program is free and open to the public. Registration is required for all virtual programs.

SUMMARY:Wiggle Worms Story Time (Birth - Age 3)
DESCRIPTION:Program for kids ages birth-3 and their caregivers. \nA play-based music and movement story time for young children and their caregivers! \nAt 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. \nWhat to expect: \nEach 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. \nAfter 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. \nThis story time will take place every Tuesday morning. Due to space\, Please choose 1 session per day to attend. \nEssex Library programs are free and open to the public. \nNo registration required.
