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:

  1. Browse the Thing-ventory below.
  2. Make a Reservation: Go here to make a reservation and we’ll contact you to schedule your pick up.
  3. 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.

Also,  let us know and we’ll consider stocking it in our Thingventory.
