Telling Tales at the Library!

St Austell AOS was approached by Cornwall Libraries to enquire whether we would like to contribute to National Story Telling Week, which ran from 27th January to 4th February 2024. The book, chosen by Karen Burdon, was The Baddies by Julia Donaldson.

St Austell AOS prides itself on working in, and with, the local community and were delighted to assist in the project. The society members jumped at the chance and a group read passages of the story, also selected by Karen, at Bodmin Library.

The event was a great success for everyone involved! You can see and hear the society’s readings on the St Austell Amateur Operatic Society Facebook page.

This community focus is very important to the society who are also giving students at St Austell College valuable work experience time with their forthcoming production, leading up to their April 8th launch of Guys and Dolls at the Keay Theatre, St Austell.
