A holiday gift for all of the Saugus kids

Soc’s Ice Cream owners donated another Christmas Tree to the Saugus Public Library

Once again, Paul and Sharon Cacciola have made the children of Saugus feel special for the holidays. The owners of Soc’s Ice Cream in Saugus brought a Christmas Tree to the Saugus Public Library last Friday (Dec. 8) and set it up on the second floor. This marked the third consecutive year that Soc’s has donated a tree. Library staff members Lisa LeJeune and Denise Hills decorated the tree.

“Soc’s Ice Cream has been a generous sponsor of Library programs and services for years,” Saugus Library Director Alan Thibeault said.

“Their donations in support of our Children’s Summer Reading Program, in particular, are significant and very much appreciated,” he said.

Amy Melton, head of Head of Children’s Services at the library, observed that the young children who come into the library are thrilled to have a Christmas Tree to admire when they come to read or participate in programs.

The tree also brings great joy to grownups and library staff and countless pedestrians who happen to look up and glance at the tree as they walk by the library’s front entrance. It is set up in front of the window that looks out across the street to Saugus Town Hall.

“Kids at the library decorated the Christmas tree with snowflake ornaments. Families are invited to drop by and make one! The library is so grateful to Soc’s Ice Cream for the beautiful tree and for supporting reading year-round, Melton said.
