Man Kicked Out Of Library For Using Computer To Do Actual Work Requiring A Computer

TUPELO – On Monday, at the Tupelo branch of the Lee County public library, Brian Dufresne of Tupelo was asked in no uncertain hushed words to exit the premises. The reason? He was using a computer for legitimate work requiring a computer.

One user at the computer station recalls the whole scenario as bizarre.

“I was sitting there, minding my own business, searching for pictures of celebrities’ feet, and this guy sits down next to me and opens up a spreadsheet or something. Like he thought he was better than me.”

When asked about the alleged incident, Dufresne submits that it wasn’t a big deal.

“I was typing out a bibliography. My printer at home was out of ink, and I have a paper due this week.”

Lee Presley-Gills put his online poker game on hold to tell how he remembers it.

“Bibliography? No, he was making a list of books is what he was doing. Why do you need to make a list of books? We’re in a library. Ain’t nothing right about it, if you ask me.”

The library staff were caught completely off guard by the alleged act.

“We’ve never seen someone do anything like this in our media center,” one librarian reports. “We weren’t trained on how to handle this kind of situation.”

“Our regulars spend hours on stuff like games, social media, and trying to circumnavigate our firewalls to access blocked sites. He really caused quite a disturbance. We didn’t have any choice but to ask him to leave.”

Dufresne has since decided to buy a new ink cartridge.

Zach Bragg is a Tupelo-based comedian and satirist whose inability to requite his lofty goals with adequate follow-through makes him wonder why he ever agreed to do this in the first place. His experience in journalism includes writing current event summaries for social studies class in middle and high school, as well as reading some Hunter S. Thompson. Originally from Hattiesburg, he moved to Tupelo in 2005 and has called it home ever since, like your classic poser. He achieved modest regional success as the creator of the Tupelo Tourism video series, but has managed not to get a big head about it. Bragg can also be seen every other month as the host of Bees, Dude! (A Comedy Show) at Queen’s Reward Meadery in Tupelo. Zach lives just outside of Tupelo with his wife, kids, and the ceaseless anxiety about things he did and said in middle school.
