eDUCATIONAL BOOK BUNDLES

Honor the WASP

Our community has a wonderful opportunity to share stories from the WASP and their legacy pilots with our youngest generation.  Together, we can donate books to local libraries, schools, other organizations that can inspire and motivate learners of all ages to pursue aviation or their own personal interests.

The Museum has created four, three-book bundles of WASP and female aviation books aimed at ages K-12.  Puchase a book bundle and receive a 20% discount off the regular price.  Each book will come with a custom dedication that will have listed:

  • Donor Name
  • who it was given in honor or memory of (optional)
  • Library (city or school). teacher, or other entity

WASP in the Wild!

Take a picture or 60-second (max) video of your book donation presentation.  Post it to social media and use #loveyourwasplibrary.
