A library director in a Vermont town near the border has been going the extra mile to help people crossing into Canada who run into problems with the ArriveCan app.

“This situation is out of hand for me, as all I do all day is help people turned around by CBSA,” said Sharon Ellingwood White, referring to the Canada Border Services Agency.
