Open Hours

Campaign · 2024

Telling a neighbourhood its library is open late.

A network of five neighbourhood libraries extended its opening hours into the evening. Hardly anyone noticed. The campaign had to change that with a small budget.

Challenge

Libraries are seen as quiet, daytime places. The campaign needed to feel welcoming at night without looking like a bar promotion.

Approach

Large clock numerals in bright colours on posters, bookmarks and window stickers, each showing the new closing time of the nearest library.

Result

Evening visits grew steadily over the following season, and the numerals are now part of the libraries’ permanent signage.
