Check out the Bloomberg news video with Erik Schatzker interviewing “Bond King” investor Bill Gross. Gross is planning to give his fortune away through a foundation. Gross is obviously a major philanthropist. My question is, are libraries paying attention? What is our industry doing to develop rapport with philanthropists? How might we better inform philanthropists about what we do?

Libraries should be in-sync with what Gross defines as success. What does Gross say about success?

Today, “success becomes a function of what we can do with the rest of the world, to help others.”
