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.

SUMMARY:Essex and the Revolution Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Cemetery walk as part of our America 250 celebrations! Join EHS Director\, Melissa Josefiak on Saturday\, October 3 at 5:00pm\, for a tour of the cemetery that will visit the gravesites of Essex veterans and residents connected to the Revolutionary War and talk about their histories before\, during\, and after the Revolution. \nLocated on the shores of the Connecticut River\, River View Cemetery testifies to the early history of “Potapaug\,” as Essex was once known\, with the oldest gravestones dating from the early 1700s.  Enjoy the cemetery’s beautiful grounds as we trace its history from a simple burial yard to the park-like setting of today\, especially during this twilight tour starting at 5pm.   \nThe tour lasts about an hour over uneven\, sloped\, grassy terrain for about half a mile.  Walkers should wear proper footwear and outerwear\, and possibly bring a flashlight if they would like.  While this tour is based on historical facts and is not intended to be ‘haunted’\, historical details about death\, war and disease may disturb young walkers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach tour is $10 per person; free to EHS members.   Please meet at the base of the cemetery’s driveway. Limited parking is available in the cemetery or along North Main Street.  Ample parking is available next door at  31 North Main Street\, Essex. \nEHS expresses its gratitude to the Board of River View Cemetery for their support. \nIn case of inclement weather\, updated information will appear under the Events tab on EHS’s website\, Facebook and Instagram.  Interested volunteer guides are invited to learn the tour.  No experience necessary and all training is provided.
