Join us for a powerful and uplifting event featuring the author of Chasing Space, Leland Melvin. — Melvin is a former NASA astronaut, NFL wide receiver, and is a passionate advocate for STEAM education and equity. As part of our Spark a Change series, Melvin will share his remarkable journey from the football field to space, and how perseverance, curiosity, and courage can launch anyone toward greatness.

This free community event is designed to ignite imagination, empower change, and remind us all that no dream is out of reach. Whether you're a student, educator, parent, or lifelong learner, you'll leave inspired to reach for the stars — and spark change right here on Earth.

Free copies of Chasing Space are available while supplies last at your local Pioneer Library System branch. eBook and audio versions are available through the PLS Connect app. Melvin will be available for autographs immediately following the program.
