Could you build this?
Partial The front end and matching logic are easy, but the library availability data depends on Libby/OverDrive and Goodreads, neither of which offers an open, stable API.
What it would actually take: The UI, shelf import, and multi-library handling are straightforward. The hard piece is reliable library availability: Libby/OverDrive has no open public catalog API, so a real version needs partner API access, a scraping layer that survives site changes, and ISBN/edition matching across Goodreads and StoryGraph data. Goodreads has no public API, which adds further import friction.
