In response to a nationwide push to ban books some deem inappropriate for children, Hoboken is hoping to go one step further by declaring the city a sanctuary for books in the crosshairs.
The Hoboken City Council is expected to vote Wednesday evening on a resolution declaring the Mile Square City a “book sanctuary,” where “no book shall be banned, endangered books shall be protected, and all types of books shall be made accessible to all without regard to their content.”
