For immediate release: June 21, 2017
Alamo Drafthouse in Littleton has kicked off its Kids Camp film series for the summer, and when families escape on these film adventures during the month of July, all ticket proceeds will benefit Douglas County Libraries Foundation. It’s one more way readers can play this summer by watching an entertaining book adaptation like “The Iron Giant,” while also giving back to the library.
Each Kids Camp film has been hand-picked by Alamo Drafthouse with an eye toward family-friendly fare for kids ages 3-12, offering alternatives to the summer’s slate of PG-13 releases. Screenings in July include such film favorites as “The Iron Giant,” “Trolls,” “Muppets From Space,” and “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.”
Movies are an entertaining way to help fuel summer reading. Kids Camp screenings take place every day (with some exceptions) during matinee hours. Families can pick their own ticket price — $1, $3 or $5 — and may buy their tickets online to reserve their seats in advance. One-hundred percent of Kids Camp ticket proceeds in July benefit Douglas County Libraries Foundation.
Douglas County Libraries Foundation helps fund programs that reach youth, adults and families in Douglas County and across Colorado, and helps ensure the long-term success of its libraries, which are critical to education, neighborhood development, workforce development, and economic development.
Tickets for Alamo’s Kids Camp screenings may be purchased at Alamo Drafthouse in Littleton (7301 S. Santa Fe Drive) or online. Donations to Douglas County Libraries Foundation may also be made directly via DCL.org/foundation. For more information, call (303) 791-7323.
Douglas County Libraries elevates our community by inspiring a love of reading, discovery and connection.
