Brown Student Moves into 24-hour Library

Brown sophomore Grant Gilles is on his sixth day of self-imposed imprisonment in the Brown Science Library. SciLi is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during finals, prompting Gilles to move in and document his plight on film. In a series of emails Gilles explained his living situation and librarian-enforced exile from the group study room he commandeered as his “apartment” (and decorated with a 5-foot wall of empty coffee cups). He explains his living conditions at ivygateblog.com. Thanks to stevelawson on Twitter for the link!

    Attention whore
    It is a library not an apartment building. If he wants a place to live I am certain student housing or perhaps student mental health service can assist him.

    If a few years from now this clown applies for a job and I see his CV with ‘I made a film about the week when I lived in the library at Brown” I would immediatly reject him. Contrary to what he may believe you are in college to learn not make a spectacle of yourself.

    The library staff have plenty of work to do one must assume. Dealing with a squatter who has decided to move in and make the library his home is not something with which they should have to deal. I suggest that if he does not wish to find alternate accomodiation through the assistance of the aforementioned agencies I am certain the local police department could relocate him.

    I read that as “Attention, whore” and it made no sense.
