About Donna Diamond
Welcome to Books 'N Me, my book club website. As you can see in my tagline, in a letter to John Adams in 1815, Thomas Jefferson wrote,” I Cannot Live Without Books,” and neither can I.
I am an avid book lover, a true bibliophile, and have been for most of my life. It has been a joy and an honor for me to facilitate book clubs on Long Island for more than twenty years. I currently lead three monthly book discussion groups at Elwood, Harborfields and Northport Libraries, (formerly at Barnes & Noble for more than ten years). I am also an original and very proud member of the Long Island Reads Committee, The One Island-One Book Concept which encourages all of Nassau and Suffolk Counties to read the same book during National Library Week in April of each year.
