Donating to the Brooklyn Public Library

The global co-head of internet investment banking for Goldman Sachs in New York City, Kim Posnett is also a member of the company’s IBD Technology Investment Committee. Alongside her career in the banking industry, Kim Posnett serves on the board of the Brooklyn Public Library.

Those looking to support the Brooklyn Public Library should know it currently accepts only monetary donations. The library previously accepted donations of books and other materials, but processing these items required substantial resources, and the sorting process revealed that most items did not benefit the Brooklyn Public Library system’s collection. Thus the library decided instead to focus on purchasing new items through financial contributions from its donors.

At certain times and locations, the Brooklyn Public Library’s Friends Groups will still accept book donations for sales to benefit the library. It also accepts books through the Great American Book Drive, which Better World Books hosts every year at the Central Library. For more information on these events, how to donate financially to support the library, or for a list of organizations still accepting used books, visit www.bklynlibrary.org.

Recently, Business Insider magazine recognized Kim Posnett, alongside her colleagues, for the massive growth that Goldman Sachs has experienced in regards to tech banking (more information available at
www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-winning-silicon-valleys-heart-2016-1).

As one of the world’s leading investment banks, Goldman Sachs has assisted companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple, and Alibaba in making critical financial decisions. In 2015, Goldman Sachs saw revenues of nearly $500 million from aiding these clients in mergers, acquisitions, debt deals, and more; the record year placed the bank far ahead of its competitors. The trend has continued in 2016, with Goldman Sachs advising executive-level leaders at Etsy, Virtu, and Square in financial decision-making.

In order to meet the growing demand, Goldman Sachs has created teams to work with tech companies at different points in their financial development. Along with assisting tech companies in the United States, Goldman Sachs continues to expand its influence to clients in the 35+ countries in which it operates.
