Once again, we have reopened our doors. We now run a very precariously packed library inside of Activespace, 1720 NW Lovejoy St, Unit 236, Mailbox 222, Portland OR 97209. Our current hours are 2-6PM Friday and Sunday, but if you contact us and go through the process to volunteer, we may be able to expand our hours.

We have resources like books, zines, and art supplies, but also for trusted comrades we can provide things like large speaker equipment, help in putting on standup comedy shows/concerts/film screenings/other events, tools for workshops, screenprinting equipment, and much more. We're also a fun group of friends who like to get together and have fun on a regular basis.

Contact us, we are your local antiauthoritarian, registered 501c3 (tax-deductable donations!) non-profit community library. Intersectionally oppressed comrades encouraged to get involved, and to stop by and make the most of the space. We live to (anti-)work with you!

If you wish to send us materials by package, rather than envelope, consider contacting us first so we can give you our private mailbox. That is bigger, and can accomodate packages as well as envelopes. Otherwise, your mail may be returned to sender. We have had many generous private anarchist collectors and foundations contact us, with donations of packages, so please let us know in advance if you need package handling accomodations!

Hopefully, in future, we will have a larger space, so that we can have a comfortable library as well as a computer terminal for 3-7 spaces, as well as space for artistic activities like screen printing and bookbinding, as well as scientific activities and laboratory space. Right now, we need to attain a higher degree of donations, to obtain the space needed. Once we have the space needed, we can start creating a real community center. For now, we are a tiny library, inside a capitalist office building targeted at creative and small time professionals like tattoo artists et al. Our shelves are packed to the brim, and our space is crammed with donations. many are first or second edition items from the priceless In Other Words collection, which we absorbed. Other treasures come to us from our contacts in New York, Portland, Seattle, and other areas.

If you have means, please consider donating to us on an ongoing basis at patreon.com/anarresinfoshop, or contact us for more special accomodations for donors who require or prefer privacy. We will use these resources to open a bigger space, which can sustainably introduce people to anarchy, and give people the means to educate and empower themselves with access to education and knowledge and technology that assists both.
