The Rutherford County Library System has implemented an out-of-county library card program, which is available to those not residing within Rutherford County. The new program provides library resource access to individuals outside of Rutherford County.

Participation will cost an annual fee of $25, and is expected to provide more community access while also promoting literacy and learning across region boundaries.

Those interested in an out-of-county library card are required to provide proper identification, while existing Rutherford County residents with a library card will retain free access to library services with no change to current services.

Middle State University plans to move forward with Derek Mason as its head football coach for the 2026 season, choosing stability as the program works through a challenging rebuilding phase.

The decision follows a 31-17 victory over Sam Houston State in the home finale, a game that halted a long losing stretch and offered a rare bright spot in a difficult year. MTSU enters its final matchup at 2-9, though several of its Conference USA defeats were competitive deep into the fourth quarter.

Mason’s tenure, currently in his second year of a five-year agreement, has included significant hurdles, including early-season setbacks against Austin Peay and first-year FBS members Delaware and Missouri State. Despite the results, university leadership believes the program is inching closer to turning competitive play into consistent wins.

Staff changes have already begun. The wide receivers coach was dismissed in mid-November, and the offensive line coach stepped down shortly before that. Further adjustments could come as Mason prepares for his third season, which administrators regard as critical to the program’s trajectory.

Middle Tennessee wraps up the 2025 season this Saturday (November 29th), traveling to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to face New Mexico State at 2 p.m. CDT. Radio coverage available on WGNS Radio, the flagship station for Blue Raider Athletics.

Nov. 27 – BoroDash 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃🏻

The mission of BoroDash is to bring glory to God by raising money for charitable purposes and providing the community with a well-organized Thanksgiving Day family event.

In 2008, Christian missionaries Calvin and Alicia Groen dreamed of opening an orphanage after finding malnourished and dying babies in the woods of Geita, Tanzania. In 2010, with the support of Staci McCreary, an event was created to raise money for the orphanage. And thus, Neema House and BoroDash were born.

Over the years, BoroDash began supporting other local charities as well. This family-friendly four-mile race takes place every Thanksgiving Day morning in historic downtown to support world-changing charities and nonprofits.

This year’s verse was chosen in honor of beloved former board member Joe Wakham, as it was one of his favorite passages of Scripture: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” — James 1:2–4.

The race begins at 8 a.m. at the Murfreesboro Civic Plaza (111 W. Vine St.).

For more information, visit borodash.org, email [email protected] or find BoroDash on Facebook.
