Border Patrol's Library Crackdown
The Haskell Library occupies a unique position: It straddles the border between Canada and the United States. For years, that meant that patrons could park their cars in Quebec and stroll around and enter the library's front doors in Vermont. But now, the Associated Press reports, Border Patrol officials want to change all that, forcing visitors to detour through one of two official ports of entry before entering the library. Smugglers, they say, are taking advantage of unguarded side streets near the library.
