What is your favorite library story? (or memorable experience?)
When Coach Dave Clawson came into the library on his first day at Wake. The Deacon brought him in and I posed for a picture with him and afterwards listened to him give a really thoughtful and inspiring speech to all the students in the library.
How did you start working in libraries?
I was working at a marketing research company at the time. I saw an advertisement in the newspaper for a library stacks supervisor position. When I was a college student, I spent a lot of time at the High Point University library. I really loved the comforting energy of the place and the warmth of the librarians. I was in need of a career change and I thought I would give it a try.
What is something we can’t know by looking at you?
I never learned how to swim.

I always enjoy our ‘off the wall’ conversations.
All good things, Peter! Good to hear from you!
Given your love of the beach, I’m surprised you never learned how to swim. Then again, you don’t need to swim to enjoy sitting with a cup of coffee enjoying the view! 🙂
The storytelling on This American Life is so interesting – I always want to listen more often than I do!
So fun getting to know more about you, Peter! Thank you for sharing.
Favorite library celebrity! Peter makes ZSR look cool
