UPDATE 11/02/2020

- Due to recent information from Public Health Dane Cty/Madison suggesting that if you spend significant time downtown you have been exposed to Covid-19, we are suspending vestibule pickup for the time being. All orders placed through our website, via e-mail, or over the phone will be shipped via our beloved USPS. Shipping costs: $3 for the first item, $1.00 for each item after.

- We are not open to the public for browsing. We are fulfilling online orders only for the foreseeable future. We believe the science behind the coronavirus means the safest option for our staff (some of us have high-risk members in our households) and our customers is to stay closed for the time being, especially as cases are rising in Madison. To get the latest updates on our reopening plan follow us on Instagram & Facebook & subscribe to our newsletter.

- Please follow this link for the rest of our current updates and answers to some frequently asked questions.

We miss you dearly!

Love,

NEW WORLDS Room Sweaters

Submitted by Room on Sun, 11/29/2020 - 1:57pm

Room collaborated with Madison artist Terrence Adeyanju for our new merch line. Crew sweaters and hoodies are available in four different colors. 20% of profits goes back to the artist! Support a local artist and a queer and trans owned bookstore while being the coziest you've ever been. We are currently talking to Bonfire to get more sizes in each style. Orders placed the weekend of 11/29 should arrive between 12/22 and 01/04.
