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.
