It could be that your analogy there is a little too simple (library
management systems' circulation modules are often incredibly
complicated, because of the different classes of restriction on
circulation). Nevertheless, there is a system built atop Postgres or
SQLite: http://biblioteq.sourceforge.net/index.html. I'm unable to
find the license, though the web page says it's "open source".
