Most book owners loaned books to others in the 18th century, because books were rare items. But these were private transactions among friends. Ben Franklin started the first public lending library, in Philadelphia. The books borrowed from that library did not belong to Franklin, but in the sense that he was important in starting the library, you could say that he loaned the books.
