I'm building a book rental service in Niagara — looking for people with unique hardcover books to share

Hey Niagara,

I'm working on a small local project called Paperleaf — basically a way for people here in the region to rent out their unique or rare hardcover books to other readers nearby.

The idea came from noticing that public libraries carry the same common titles everywhere, but a lot of people have genuinely rare, out-of-print, signed, or specialty books sitting unread on their shelves.

For Phase 1 I'm keeping it simple — I'll personally handle all pickup and delivery within Niagara, and lenders earn a cut of each rental fee.

If you have books you'd consider listing, I'd love to hear from you. You can register at getpaperleaf.ca or just comment here.

Happy to answer any questions — still very early days so all feedback welcome too.
