A library which straddles the US-Canadian border faces new restrictions on movement as the US administration moves to tighten border controls.

For more than 100 years, people in Stanstead, Quebec in Canda have been able to walk into Derby Line, in the US state of Vermont to enter the Haskell Free Library and Opera House – no passport required.
