Meet Our Library Staff
Sadie Pettigrew
Hi! I’m Sadie Pettigrew, a Public Services Librarian at Maxwell Library. Before coming to BSU, I’ve worked in academic libraries in Massachusetts and New York, and I’ve also spent time in the classroom as a teacher. My favorite part of librarianship is helping students make research feel a little less overwhelming (and convincing them that asking a librarian for help is totally normal!). Outside of work, I love films, baking, doing yoga, and spending time with my family. I’m excited to be at BSU and look forward to getting to know the campus community!
