Thanks to smartphones and tablets, book reading no longer requires a trip to the local library. Amazon alone probably holds all the books you could read in a hundred lifetimes, but many people still prefer to stop by their local library regularly, whether it’s for looking up a guide or job hunting.
In a recent survey conducted across the United States, Pew Research Center uncovers the habits of Americans young and old, rich and poor, educated or not, based on race, gender, etc. The research group found some interesting things, including the fact that two-thirds of all of those 16 and older believe that closing their local public library would have a significant impact on their community. 32% said it would affect them (and their respective families) directly.

Wouldn’t it be great to gain entry into the minds of contemporary moguls? You might think that scoring an interview will do the trick, but there’s no guarantee that any of them is willing to share their entrepreneurial secrets. However, you don’t need a face to face meeting to know where they got some of their best ideas.
Visionaries like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, or the late Steve Jobs, have never made it a secret that they drew their inspiration from books. What better way to get into their heads if not by reading what they’ve read?
