Library District & NBA 2K Summer League Score with the Launch of a Limited-Edition Library Card & Bookmark

Ongoing Partnership Underscores Libraries’ Role as Essential Resource for Literacy & Learning

LAS VEGAS (June 10, 2025) – The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District is proud to announce a new collaboration that’s sure to excite basketball fans and library lovers alike! As part of our ongoing partnership with NBA 2K Summer League, the Library District is launching a limited-edition, NBA 2K Summer League library card, available starting June 9 at all 25 library branches, while supplies last.

This special library card features a bold NBA 2K Summer League design and gives cardholders full access to the Library District’s unlimited FREE resources—from music and movie streaming, 3D printers, podcast studios and computer labs, to audiobooks, graphic novels and comics, toy and game lending, and more! Library cardholders are also the first to know about special events and resources such as art gallery exhibits, cultural celebrations, music and video production classes and STEAM workshops to storytimes, book & music clubs, and live music, dance, and theater performances.

In addition to the library card, customers can also pick up an exclusive NBA 2K Summer League bookmark featuring images of past NBA 2K Summer League players, along with book recommendations from NBA superstar players Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics), Kyrie Irving (Dallas Mavericks), and Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors). All of these selections are available to check out at your library.

"NBA 2K Summer League champions our commitment to education and literacy for all ages, and it is our privilege to introduce this dynamic library card as a symbol of our partnership,” said Kelvin Watson, executive director, Las Vegas-Clark County Library District. “This new library card and bookmark are engaging ways to promote learning through the excitement of basketball and are truly a slam dunk for our community.”

“The NBA 2K Summer League is proud to celebrate our ongoing partnership with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District through the release of our first-ever exclusive and limited edition library card,” said Carole Adams Hattar, director of community relations, NBA 2K Summer League. “This collaboration has been a longtime dream, and we are truly honored to see it come to life with a partner that shares our commitment to community, access, and education.”
