Indeed - I did a search for "library" on freshmeat.net and it returned 
1980 packages which were merely code libraries.  I did a search on 
"librarian" however, and received only 9 projects.  I think you might find 
phpMyLibrary to be of interest.

Quote:
"PhpMyLibrary is a PHP/MySQL Web based library automation application. The
program consists of cataloging (for handling
adding/editing/deleting/searching of materials), circulation (so the
librarian can handle user related management items), and the webpac module
(where the World searches the catalog of your library). The program also
has an import export feature, and strictly follows the USMARC standard for
adding materials."
