	The Kelston Reading Ring ______________________________


	Juniors

The Kelston Reading Ring circulates books to review among members from leading titles for their age group. Each person reads and reviews a book in his own time and that review will go on The Reading Ring page of the Kelston website. He then passes on the book to someone else to do the same. When the book has been around the ring, then we shall decide together whether to purchase the title for the Kelston library. We will then have trips around second-hand bookshops to find the books. All Kelston members and their friends can join The Reading Ring.
