Our Growing Library

Written By Beth White

A big shoutout to Bonnie Pease for her incredible contributions to the growth of our aviation library! Bonnie, known affectionately as "Auntie Bonnie" at the hangar, has been an unwavering source of support and generosity.

Through her kindness and love for Habitat for Aviation, she has gifted us with some truly remarkable titles that have already made a huge impact on our young Rosies. Books like The Women Behind Rosie the Riveter, The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line, American Woman and World War II, and Women Code Breakers not only enrich our library but also inspire and empower the next generation of women in aviation and beyond.

Bonnie's thoughtful gestures go beyond books. She has a special way of showing up with just the right gift, card, or word of encouragement exactly when it's needed. Her mentorship and devotion to our cause shine through in everything she does. Whether it’s sending a note of inspiration or simply offering a listening ear, Auntie Bonnie represents kindness, love, and a deep commitment to each of our young Rosies. We are so grateful for her unique presence in our community, and we are thrilled to watch our library grow thanks to her generous spirit. Thank you, Auntie Bonnie, for being such a remarkable part of our Habitat for Aviation family!
