As library advocates, we must make our voices heard and urge Congress to #FundLibraries with robust, sustained investments in library services. As the budget process for Fiscal Year 2023, we need you to take action for libraries, library workers, and the communities we serve!

December’s Cold Moon 🥶🌕 is special because it shines for a longer period than most full moons -- allowing us more time to enjoy! Learn more ⤵️ #ProtectTheNight #NightSkyWatching
ALT Infographic about the December 18 full moon. This full moon is known as the: Cold Moon, Long Nights Moon, Moon Before Yule, and Snow Moon. The Cold Moon rises during some of the longest nights of the year -- near the winter solstice. The Long Nights Moon name is fitting because December’s full moon shines above the horizon for a longer period of time than most other full moons. The Cold Moon will reach peak illumination on Saturday, December 18, 2021, at 11:37 P.M. EST; however, it will appear full, from Friday evening until Monday morning to be enjoyed all weekend.
