What a find in downtown Greeley! A superb mix of books, vibe, customer service, layout, and…read morecreativity! Just celebrating their first year at this location, The Midnight Oil oozes a nice place to slow down and enjoy book shopping, one of my favorite vices. Pablo was the primary staffer on this day, and he could not have been a better host. Full of bookstore information, humor, guidance about Greeley, and a pleasant personality. There are all sorts of sitting and browsing options, and I love their back room of those interesting banned books that some have decided to make their focus. It is filled with humor and sarcasm. The decor is simple but terrific, and the best element of it is the hundreds of books surrounding girders located within the central area of the store, a brilliant decorative move that lures you into the store and is such a spot-on feature.

Well, just so you know, this is the best place to open in Greeley in a good long while…read more Most used bookstores and musty and unattractive and make you want to grab your book and flee. However this is open, area and clean. The books are oganized by subject making it easier to find the type of Book which you are seeking. Pablo is knowledgeable and smart. There are plans for a little space for coffee, I believe so it's a suitable new hangout.

My personal favorite section was the horror area with such a beautifully curated display! I also really enjoyed the Colorado section too with so much material on the many trails, hikes, foliage, foraging, etc... this was so enjoyable! I could've easily spent double the time I did in this shop, but it leaves me excited to come back and do exactly that. A great stop for book lovers!

I am a sucker for an independent bookstore. It is a lovely space, right next to a quality tea…read moreshop. My favorite feature is the mystery book section near the front. These are books wrapped in brown paper, with a few descriptors on the front, and a quotation from the book along the spine. These books are not for sale per say, but you can make a donation to a rotating charity (when I was there it was for an organization that supported farm education for youth). I was introduced to this shop by my college-age son, who brought home a whole stack of these mystery books at Christmas and each of us got to pick one on Christmas morning (based on nothing but the descriptors and quotation). It was really delightful for our bibliophile family. If I were a FoCo local, I fear I would be in here on a very regular basis.

Books are heavily important to have in a digital age where companies have more power to restrict your choices for reading. The whole store was also pretty well stocked, and they even have an anime/manga section for all the local otakus and weebs. What took us by surpruse was a huge section purely dedicated to Harry Potter. Almost like a shrine to the wizarding world, it was immense and not even temporary. Another neat bit was the vinyl, but sadly no video game soundtracks. Which made me a sad goblin.
