I have not personally heard about this Library but I'd be very skeptical.
If the business is "legit" they would have to be lending original diskettes.
However, the only real use a "borrower" could get would be to permanently
"borrow" a copy for his/her hard disk.  These people are known as software
pimps, and the users are simply in it to break copyright laws and try to
get something for nothing.
