Ever wonder what Bobst Library is thinking when you’re inhabiting its lower levels and riding up and down its midsection? Well, fantasize no longer Shattered lives download. @NYUBobstLibrary is on Twitter and he isn’t holding back. At all. We’re warning you, Kimmel and Silver.
Here’s a tweet about Elmer’s thoughts on his body structure:
- “I may be a building but that doesn’t mean I don’t have an awesome set of human genetalia. Ps. Come inside of me.”
And on his sexual desires:
- “I WANNA HOLLAH FOR A DOLLAH, GET SOME PUSSY FOR A PENNY- I DON’T CARE IF SHE GOT AIDS.”
Of course, @NYUBobstLibrary spares no remorse for other NYU buildings. Freshmen, cover your ears:
- “Thought I bought sum coke frm the waverly buildng but it turnz out THAT SHIT WAS JUST CRUSHED UP BIRTH CONTROL. Bitch I want my money back”
- “nvm, gunna get laid by hayden. what a SLUT. hollah at silver though, i know that motherfucker is there.”
- “I tried on my fat jeans nd they were 2 small.I rly need to hit da gym. Maybe Rubin will go running wit me. Rubin has huge tits. Bouncebounce”
But reading between Elmer Holmes’s vulgar language reveals a sense of insecurity and loneliness. Here at NYU Local — where we use the library only to hold meetings, no more — we wonder what exactly lies inside the barren cube of Bobst Library. Telling signs:
- “YO BRITTANY HALL Why ain’t you returnin my txts?? I knw ur gettin them. My big red brick heart is straight up breakin. Imma be single 4evr”
- “I know you may think that I’m easy- but I’m still a library and I have serious emotions. And also serious opinions- about health care even.”
For questions and concerning regarding personal health and safety, please call the NYU Wellness Exchange at 212-443-9999. We’re here for you, Elmer!
Note: @NYUBobstLibrary is not to be confused with @bobstlibrary, which appears to be the Twitter account for an actual library.

Yep, @bobstlibrary is staffed by librarians at Bobst. You can follow it for news and events, and you can ask us if you have a library-related question or need help with research. We’re also on chat and SMS:

“Grey sweater guy on the 8th floor- why are you sitting alone at a table? Do you smell bad or something? #HOLLER8THFLOOR”
Lol.

Amazing. I love it, I always wanted to know what Bobst thought in his most private moments.


















Hiarious! This is “Twitterjacking” at its best.
