Hoboken to become a sanctuary city for books
By Joanna Gagis, Senior Correspondent
The Hoboken City Council voted unanimously Wednesday in support of designating Hoboken as a sanctuary city for books, meaning it will not ban or remove any books from the city’s library shelves.
“We want to embrace diverse books. We want to tell the stories of people who are otherwise marginalized, and make sure that we celebrate that in all places in Hoboken,” said Hoboken City Council President Emily Jabbour.
