It sounds like a good idea to me and I have a stack of books I'd be 
willing to lend out as well until I need them.

As for implementation of a lending/tracking system, I found a drupal 
library addon: http://drupalib.interoperating.info/library_modules

Alternatively, using a wiki application is probably the easiest setup 
and it would allow collaboration and tracking of available books and 
signouts. If the wiki were appended to the existing kwlug drupal site it 
wouldn't require a second registration and everything could be 
centralized.  I'm not sure how many people have admin access to the 
website though or have time to add it. I'm willing to put a wiki up on 
my server and/or add one to the kwlug site if I am given appropriate access.
