I have begun the task of cataloging the books at Hive13. I'm entering them in librarything.com which is a nice site that I already use personally. It doesn't do things like checkouts, etc, it mainly just shows you what you have and information about your collection. Importantly, it allows you to search a collection, so that should be useful for us.
I've started shuffling books around a little. The books over on the gray metal shelves by the popcorn machine and the books on the black wooden shelf have all been entered online. The rest have not yet been entered. I've labeled those two shelves too. I'd appreciate it if those books I've recorded didn't get mixed back into the books I haven't reached yet. Other than that, feel free to grab anything. Honor system. Don't make me charge fines. ;-)
Eventually, I'll try to enter all of them and maybe even put them into some kind of order. If we want to set up a real circulation system, I can easily export out of LibraryThing and into another system. This is a good starting point.

I spent some time entering more books last night. We are now up to 254 books on LibraryThing. I would estimate that I'm about two thirds of the way through our collection.
In order to simplify my task, I've started adding small green dot stickers to books I've added to LT to differentiate them from ones I haven't added yet. Now it is not as important (but still convenient) for them to stay on separate shelves. See: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/dave_menninger/7042622297/in/photost...
Also, I've created a wiki page where I'll document what I've done so far and where I'll post further updates: http://wiki.hive13.org/Library
