What a day, Ottawa!
On January 27, our community showed up at Ottawa Public Library (OPL) branches across the city, ready to celebrate curiosity, connection, and the everyday Library moments that bring us together.
Launch Day Highlights
Here’s what made the celebration so special:
- In-branch activations: Staff welcomed clients into branches filled with bold new visuals, sparking moments of conversation, discovery, and connection.
- Sweet treats & tote bags: Branded donuts and tote bags brought delight to participating branches—and plenty of smiles.
- Three new library card designs: Clients got to choose from three brand-new library card designs, making the launch even more personal and memorable.
- Digital & in-library updates: Technology Services refreshed our website and in-library technology for a seamless public experience.
- Real moments, captured: We snapped authentic photos of the connections that make OPL feel like yours, and shared some of them here with you.
More Than a Logo
The celebration doesn’t stop with launch day. In the weeks ahead, you’ll start spotting our new brand around the city, in your local library, and online. Every element has been designed with our communities in mind.
