I used to keep a *lot* of books, and of course, people always asked to borrow.

I never loaned out books. I gave them, and asked to be given them back when done. (If I didn't want to give the book away, I just said "No" or "you can come by here and read it anytime you want")

After several moves in quick succession and an impending move to NYC I gave my entire library away -- Limit of one book per person per visit. It took a few months and a few parties but in the end almost all were gone.
