Take a break from the hustle and join the Hope College library for a peaceful hour of silent reading in the Pine Grove. There will be snacks and drinks, a raffle for free copies of the 2025 Big Read book “I Cheerfully Refuse” by Leif Enger, and past Big Read books available to check out (with Hope ID). Bring your own blanket or chair, plus a good book, and come, slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy reading together as a community.
Location: Hope College, Pine Grove, behind Graves Hall (Rain backup: Bultman Student Center Fireplace Room, lower level)
