A public library in Stanstead, Quebec, straddles the US-Canadian border. Should patrons on the Canadian side be allowed to walk through a door to the US side without going through customs?

Until now, yes, with a brief exception around the 9/11 attacks. But not any more, according to a new Trump admin directive.

@petersuber aww, that's really too bad.
@petersuber This sucks and we should all hate it.
At the same time, the Haskell Library continues to build the other doorway on the Canada side so that they can serve all of their communities and we should all be very proud of them.
@petersuber Another reason for BABA (BUY ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN)
@petersuber Boooo. Boo, I say. Booo!
That's been one of my most favorite libraries for over 2 decades because of its siting and access. Maybe one day the world will right itself and this library will again be open the way it is supposed to be.
@petersuber It works both ways.
