[An archive of the welcome page and note]
Hello and welcome!
This is the new online home of wares infoshop library. If it's your first time landing here, the about page gives a quick overview of the project, while individual pages, linked below with recent blog posts, will delve into specifics of its different aspects.
After restarting activities for a brief period in February 2022, we were forced to close and search for a new space as our lease wasn't renewed. With four months of intense work, we are finally gearing up to welcome visitors to our new space in September. We thank you for your patience, and sincerely apologise for any distress our hiatus has caused, especially with regards to failures at keeping up with the mutual aid initiative. This is something we're still working on, if slowly due to burnout and the isolating, fatiguing conditions of the ongoing pandemic – without forgetting that capitalism is the crisis.
In the meantime, we continue to work on adding more to pages here, refining what we write, and realigning our online presence away from social media platforms. Possibility arises from encounter, and there is much to build. In regaining momentum, we look forward to sharing space with friends, comrades, and fellow travellers again, and hope to meet you soon!

We still strongly encourage visitors to wear a mask – we honour requests for all to mask up, which applies for the full day – and suggest doing so during enclosed commutes and in crowded spaces. Disposable masks are available but bring your own for the best fit and quality that you’re already comfortable with.
