I look forward to working with Peter to ensure that the library helps our faculty and students achieve their goals.”
Hook will oversee the Law Library, its expert librarians and library staff.
“I am excited to assume the helm of an already great law library and will work tirelessly toward making it an even better one,” Hook said. “Great libraries are made by great people — people with the expertise, service ethic, drive and ability to not only be excellent stewards of content, but to actively connect students and faculty with the best informational resources possible. Teaching is also a passion of mine, and I welcome the opportunity to teach WashU’s smart, diverse students.”
