I looked into this for my local library, about 7 years ago. I would start with Rich's suggestion because a) he is much more current than me b) he is likely to be of help when you need it
That said, there are lots of projects that do this kind of thing. I am sure there was one that was meant for libraries. One thing I was always concerned with was how well the system would last over weeks or months of lack of attention. Like, does it need a sys admin around to apply security updates, or un brick a machine because /var filled up, etc. If you expect to maintain the boxes, great, this isn't an issue. If you are going to leave them in the hands of someone that can turn it off and on again... then the requirements are different.
