International Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide celebration of lunar science and exploration held annually since 2010. One day each year, everyone on Earth is invited to observe and learn about the Moon together, and to celebrate the cultural and personal connections we all have with our nearest neighbor.

In preparation for this night, join librarian Jessie as we learn about the phases of the moon, the best days and times to observe the moon, tools you can use, and why we observe the moon-a bit of lunar folklore.
