For the month of June we'll be reading, "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende and watching the 1984 film of the same name and directed by Wolfgang Petersen.

Here at The Midnight Oil we intend to build a community of book lovers along with teaming up with local businesses to provide various experiences.

We're partnering up with The Kress Cinema for this book-to-film series. Within the first part of the month readers will be able to pick up their copy of the book to read. The last Tuesday of every month we'll get together at The Kress Cinema for a private screening.

Doors open at 6pm for concessions and socializing. The movie starts right around 7pm. 

Your purchase includes the book which is yours to keep, along with an entry to watch the movie. Your purchase is your ticket, we'll have your name on file if any issues arise the night of the movie.

Add-on tickets for this month will also be an option.  

**No shipping available for Books To Movie, pick-up in-store only.

Become a Dragon Strong Ambassador

Support literacy. Earn your dragon.

This summer, readers in 9th grade through adulthood can join the academy as a Dragon Strong Ambassador—a paid level of the Dragon Strong Reading Academy that keeps the program free for kids across Northern Colorado. 

Here’s how it works:

• $25 to join

• Get your Ambassador Reading Log and starter dragon beginning Friday the 13th (June)

• First round requires you to read a novella or longer (150 pages)

• Return your log for your next dragon and reading log
  
  
• Final round requires you to read a novel or longer (160 pages plus) and fill out a review.

• Return your log to claim your final dragon

Why it matters:

Each Ambassador covers their own dragon and helps sponsor three K–8 readers—fueling the next generation of literacy warriors.

Reading never looked so powerful.
