Weird future movie about books

Ok so I saw this movie late 90s early 2000s in elementary or middle school, but it looked like it easily could have been from the 80s. In it the main characters (1 or 2 kids I think) somehow end up in the future where I believe books have been outlawed and they’re saved by these people whose secret hideout is an underground  library I think.  The one thing I distinctly remember is that the bad guys in the future are afraid of horses! I know it’s not a lot to go on but fingers crossed, thanks!!

  1. Sounds like “Tomes & Talismans”(1986 TV Series)
    Tomes & Talismans is a 1986 educational television series produced by Mississippi ETV, consisting of thirteen 20-minute episodes presented as a dramatic serial story. Each episode defines, illustrates, and reviews specific library/research concepts.

    ‘…She then takes the children to the underground library to hide from the Wipers, only to discover its a wreck. While the children are helping her clean up, she teaches them more about books and how the library is organized…’
    ‘…Wiper superstition of horses, and how to defeat the Wipers…’

    Here’s episode 1 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DzzPDnIKtQ
