Nashville Public Library launches limited-edition Nashville SC card

Fun fact: The special card, which features Nashville SC mascot Tempo the Coyote, also comes with a free commemorative lanyard and poster, while supplies last.

• Readers who get the card will also receive recommendations for soccer-related reading and streaming options available from the library's collection.

How it works: New customers can get the Nashville SC card online or at any library branch while supplies last.

• If you've already got a library card, you can trade it out for the Nashville SC version at any branch.

The big picture: The partnership between the library and Nashville SC also includes a citywide call-out to join the free Summer Reading Challenge.

• Participants can earn prizes for reading and completing other tasks through the end of July.

• The challenge is open to readers of all ages, but it can be a particularly powerful way for young readers to remain intellectually engaged during summer break.

What they're saying: "We believe that strong communities are built on strong readers," library director Terri Luke said in a statement.

• "This special collaboration with Nashville SC gives us a powerful new way to reach readers in Nashville, and I want to thank the entire Nashville SC organization for helping us champion lifelong learning at every age."
