Kids and teens (ages 0-18) are invited to take the nonfiction reading challenge by exploring a variety of nonfiction categories to complete a BINGO.

Each square of the ReadSquared BINGO card offers a nonfiction category to choose from. Click on the square for more information and information about where to find the books in the Salem Public Library Children's Nonfiction collection.

The challenge is simple:
