Sex offender found living in UI library  
 
URBANA -- Authorities at the University of Illinois are trying to find out  
how a convicted sex offender came to be living inside a campus  library.
 
University of Illinois Police Lt. Roy Acree says 21-year-old Eric J.  
Kaminski, who gave a Champaign address, was discovered early Thursday morning at  the 
Undergraduate Library in Urbana. 
Library security believes Kaminski had been living in the library behind  
movable bookshelves in the northeast corner of the building. 
Acree says Kaminski had a folding knife with a 3-inch blade and a sex  
offender registration form in his possession when he was found. 
He says Kaminski was convicted of a sex crime in Michigan, and court records  
show he was arrested by Champaign police and pleaded guilty in June to a 
felony  charge of failure to register as a sex offender. 
Acree told the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette that it is not uncommon for  
homeless people to use campus buildings. 
"When the weather starts getting colder, they will start looking for  
shelter," Acree said. "It's a big campus with a lot of buildings with nooks and  
crannies. Homeless people will sleep  overnight."
