US decision to limit Canadian access to border-straddling library prompts outpouring of emotion

The town of Stanstead, Quebec, says U.S. authorities have unilaterally decided to “close the main Canadian access” to the Victorian-style library that straddles the border between the two countries. For decades, Canadian visitors to the town had been able to walk across the border into Derby Line, Vermont to enter the Haskell Free Library and Opera House without having to cross a checkpoint or show a passport. That custom is now ending.
