After checking out library surveillance tapes, librarians at the Brookline (MA)Public Library were able to lead police to flasher suspect Paul Trow, who had utilized both the library and a local Starbucks to give his “performance.” Story from Town OnLine .
Contrary to initial reports, Trow did not allegedly expose himself to the victim in the romance section of the library, but in the nonfiction paperbacks section said Town Librarian Chuck Flaherty.
He was where?
In the non-fiction paperback section? Cheeky little devil, eh? I’d say that he should have been in the science section; next to the medical textbooks such as Gray’s Anatomy. Or the abnormal psychology works.
library perversions?
When I was at the Syracuse University Library (one of them, at least) a few years ago, I saw two students making out. I wonder how many people have caught other people doing inappropriate things in what are supposed to be repositories of wisdom.
