I posted a reply to Ronn's detailed recommendations.
I'd like to add that maybe you should think about setting up a bookcase
or two for reference books likely to be needed occasionally by a number
of programmers (encourage them to get their own copies of books they'll
be using a *lot*), and ask them to bring in some books that aren't
work-related. Stick a half-dozen carefully-chosen SF novels in there to
seed that section. (I'd actually be willing to donate a couple to that
cause, myself, if you're interested.)
