we have tried several times to start a library, someone was going to adapt their own software so we could have a booking system, but they never carried through, mind you there wasn't much interest from others.
IIRC the envisaged scheme was for each person who had books/magazines to register with the library system, people who wanted something booked through the system and then the material was loaned direct between lender and borrower. saves having some sort of centralised physical library, with all the hassles of some poor sod being responsible for the whole organisation, and keeps track of who you loaned your stuff to. maybe a rule if someone didn't return stuff, a note put on the system so they couldn't borrow any more until they replaced it.
