Also on the library’s 2nd floor, you can find the Muste Alcove, named for Hope College alumnus and well-known peace activist, A. J. Muste. He spent his life working with Quakers and Communists, organized labor and radical peace activists, all in the name of non-violent solutions to the world's problems. The green sculpture pieces were created by a Hope graduate. They offer a graffiti-friendly way to express your thoughts and convictions.
