The newly designed website of the Library Foundation for Sarasota County.
DreamLarge has announced the strategic rebrand and website launch of the Library Foundation for Sarasota County. After several months of working together, the organizations have developed a platform designed to help the Library Foundation better support, educate and advocate for Sarasota County Public Libraries.
Through a catalytic investment by DreamLarge, the Foundation has acquired a new, forward-looking brand, website and image, giving it the tools and strategies necessary to better achieve its mission of ensuring that libraries are an indispensable community resource.

“Libraries are essential to the health of our community,” said Alisa Mitchell, executive director, Library Foundation for Sarasota County. “This new brand helps represent the evolution of libraries as a platform designed to do good in the community – from simply being a place for reading to being a place that encourages accessible education, provides social services and drives creativity and imagination in countless people.”
The Library Foundation for Sarasota County was established on the belief that great communities deserve great libraries. Founded in 2011, the foundation is a nonprofit organization that raises private donations to supplement public tax support to keep Sarasota’s libraries strong, innovative and accessible to all. By working closely with the Sarasota County Library System, the county’s Library Advisory Board, and with the various Friends’ organizations at each library branch, the Foundation focuses on ways to enhance the library system for everyone in Sarasota.
“With this project, we saw an incredible opportunity to develop a platform that could help advance the dialogue of the Foundation and the overarching importance of the library system in our community, especially in a post-COVID world,” said Julia Groom, director of strategic initiatives at DreamLarge. “At DreamLarge, we believe we have a duty to serve our community, and we’re honored to be able to help the foundation tell the story of how libraries are driving the community forward at a time where we run the risk of standing still.”
