In a picturesque town on the U.S.-Canada border, workers under dark clouds were building a new entrance for Canadians into a library to replace one that had long symbolized bilateral closeness.

For more than a century, Canadians in Stanstead, Quebec, could walk through a door in the Haskell Free Library into Derby Line, Vermont, without passing through customs.

As a result of the U.S. action, a new entrance is being constructed on the side of the building to give Canadians access to the library.

      Maybe the board should return pettiness with pettiness. Move all the books to the Canadian side of the building and require people to show their Canadian passports to enter the Canadian side.

      I mean it isn’t as if Americans benefit from books anyway, is it?
