Sharebrary

I was recently reading a novel called "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown at my brother's place. Before i could complete the book i had to leave chennai. I am desperate to finish the book but i dont want to buy the book. Instead i would prefer a lending library. Unfortunately there arent any lending libraries around my area for that matter in cosmoplitan bangalore finding a lending library is almost difficult. This mere problem gave rise to a new idea called "Share-brary". I live in an apartment complex of around 300 residents and most of them buy books. Once a book is read, i am not sure how many will read it again unless its so tempting. In my opinion "read once" books are non value add assets and with the concept of share-brary you can generate revenue from these non value add assets. The concept is to compile a database of books within the complex and post them in the website. Interested people order the books through email or intercom facilities. Books will be door delivered on "pay-as-you-go" basis per week. The moderator does a revenue share with the shareholders. The only investment from the residents are their own books.No hefty investments but a good part time business for homemakers or retired people.

What do you think of this idea ? Would love to hear your opinion and comments..
