two that I have looked into:
Bookcrossing.com
mediachest.com

There is also a 'library in a box' that the Library of Congress sells, but
IMHO way too expensive for what you are looking for.

What specific capabilities are you looking for? Any incidents that
prompted you to investigate this sort of solution?


Note: from the IT manager of a Library for two more weeks, who knows
enough about Library Information Systems or Integrated Library Systems.
BTW the opinions expressed here in no way reflect the position or opinions
