One of the problems with establishing a lending library has been keeping track of the inventory. Recently I asked freshmeat about relevant applications. Here are the top contendors:

Koha (if this page doesn't work, try Koha's Sourceforge page)
Used by real public libraries in the actual New Zealand in the present day. Web and curses interfaces written in Perl.
Open Media Lending Database
aka OpenDB. Shows signs of reasonably recent development. Web interface written in PHP. package opendb 0.62p9-3 in debian sarge.
Alexandria
Seems targeted at much smaller installations than Koha, more like a personal collection manager that happens to also have a field for who the book is lent to. Under current development. Gnome interface written in Ruby. package alexandria 0.5.1-3 in debian sarge.
Tellico
Like Alexandria in scope, but with a KDE interface written in C++. Under current development. package tellico 0.13.3-1 in debian sarge.
