Happy New Year! We love sharing these pro-book posters from the Works Projects Administration Poster Collection in the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. Of the 2,000 WPA posters known to exist, the Library of Congress's collection of more than 900 is the largest.

One of my favourite episodes of @deathstudiespod.bsky.social. Not just a great episode for those who study Death Studies, but for anyone who has an interest in life, academic study, and many more subjects.
