Library Lifeline is led by an experienced bookseller and lifelong reader.

With 23 years of experience and membership in the American Library Association and the Association for Library Service to Children, Donna knows how to create a space that appeals to readers and educators alike. Through her partnerships with non-profit organizations, including My Own Book Fund and NYC School Library Systems, Donna frequently heard about the strains created by underfunded library programs. Recognizing an urgent need, Donna, armed with determination, plus a passion for reading and literacy, created Library Lifeline.
