A mentally ill, homeless man is believed to have called the
Sherburne Memorial Library home for the last year. Head librarian
Gail Weymouth described him as black, in his 20s and possibly
mentally ill. He has been seen around the library regularly since
last October, often using the computer and the library's
refrigerator, during operating hours.
Nov. 30, however, the library was forced to take action when he
reportedly lost control of his bowels inside the library, forcing
an evacuation.
The library issued a two-year, no-trespass order against
him.
Weymouth reported the incident to the Killington Select Board,
last Tuesday.
The man, called Greg,Weymouth and Second Constable
Whit Montgomery say wasn't a threat to the public and was just
looking for a place to sleep.
Greg can still be seen walking along
River Road or Route 4 at all times of day and lives in any shelter
he can find.
Weymouth has requested $500 more in the library's 2013
budget for surveillance cameras.
