I'll second the suggestion of Alexandria for desktop usage but I would 
note that the latest stable version in Portage is extremely old.  I 
would suggest using 0.6.3 (the latest upstream release, ~amd64 & ~x86 in 
portage).

If you want something more involved (like a real Library would use), you 
could look into Koha[1] and/or Evergreen[2] as web apps but 
unfortunately neither is in Portage.
