In a controversial decision, U.S. authorities have decided to limit Canadian access to the Haskell Free Library, a unique institution that straddles the border between Quebec and Vermont. The restrictions, prompted by security concerns, have triggered a strong emotional response from residents and officials on both sides of the border. The library, beloved for its cultural significance, has found itself at the center of rising tensions amid new border security measures. Local politicians and community members have voiced their disappointment and denounced the closure, while some see this move as a bizarre act linked to recent political events. As Canadians are barred from entering the library, the decision raises questions about cross-border relations and the impact of U.S. policies on local communities.
