Historic US-Canada border library opens new Canada-only entrance
The historic Haskell Free Library and Opera House, built across the US-Canada border in 1904, has opened a new Canada-only entrance following a Trump administration decision to halt use of its original US-side main door.
The historic Haskell Free Library and Opera House, intentionally built across the US-Canada border in 1904 to facilitate shared access to books and performances, has inaugurated a new entrance exclusively for Canadian visitors. This development follows a decision by the Trump administration to cease the use of the library's original main door, which is situated on the US side in Vermont. For over a century, the landmark community building allowed residents from both nations to move freely between its sections. The new Quebec-only entrance aims to restore access for Canadian patrons after the previous restrictions. Sources: BBC News — World
