Thingery
Welcome to the Queen City Thingery, Imago’s Library of Things. Why buy something new when you can reuse?
Borrow instead! From tents to tools, check out our thing-ventory and borrow away!
Borrowing saves money, builds community and is good for the planet.
Borrow in Three Easy Steps:
- Browse the Thing-ventory below.
- Make a Reservation: Go here to make a reservation and we’ll contact you to schedule your pick up.
- Enjoy your Thing: Then return on time, clean and whole, so someone else can borrow it.
What is a Library of Things
A library of things is simple a way for us to reduce consumerism, be easier on the planet, and build community by sharing what we’ve got.
Here’s a nice article on the history and evolution of Libraries of Things.
Why do things cost money if I am borrowing?
Borrow fees help to cover the costs of the eventual item replacement for things that have a shorter life or are more expensive.
How long can I borrow a thing?
Every borrow is one week long.
I need something you don't have.
