HOBOKEN, New Jersey (WABC) -- City officials in Hoboken are voting to declare it the first Book Sanctuary City in New Jersey in response to a nationwide push to ban certain literature. The City Council will vote at 7 p.m. on Wednesday regarding the measure. It would prevent books from being restricted as well as protect endangered books and keep materials accessible to all regardless of their content. "Hoboken's rich history and vibrant community make it the perfect place for a Book Sanctuary," said Mayor Ravi S.
