Gravitate into Galaxy Slam week with big book energy.

Before they were shot callers, scientists and athletes were kids with their heads in the clouds. Visit Worlds of Words during U of A’s Galaxy Slam week to browse global books to ignite your imagination about space and space travel. The display is complemented by “stellar” original art from published picturebook illustrators Julien Chung, Stevie Lewis and S.D. Nelson.

Galaxy Slam is a week-long celebration of the U of A’s legacy in space as only a university with our storied basketball team can do it. Be sure to check out all the Galaxy Slam events on campus, including planetarium shows, lectures and trivia nights.

The center is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. No reservation required.
