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.

Too much loss in 2025. Let’s make things in 2026. Build a new country. Start something smart and joyful. Let’s laugh as much as we can next year.
