Saille Caia Murray (she/they) serves as the Social Science Librarian and supports the subject areas of Anthropology, Archeology, Geography, GIS, and Sociology. They have a master’s degree in Library and Information Science from the Pratt Institute and a master’s degree in Urban Studies from Fordham University. Prior to their work in libraries, they spent over a decade working in politics.

Saille has a range of broad research, including democratic infrastructure; libraries treatment of pagan and indigenous religious materials; Afro-Caribbean diaspora religious practice in public space; libraries and environmental digital sustainability; open educational resources; and the accessibility of information. They have a deep love of research process and seek to cultivate a more holistic reference experience.

Their passion for exploring and strengthening the role that libraries play in our broader democratic infrastructure has been realized in their own scholarship and practice. These passions for documenting democratic practice in public space have been partially realized in their ongoing photography project “What I See When I Walk.”
