You may want to take a look at:

There are several free and low cost solutions but I don't know if there is one
that will be a viable solution for you. Sounds like you need a self checkout

Rowan-
Having a hosted catalog and circ system seems very easy to do. There are
several open source library systems such as Koha and Evergreen that might suit
your needs:

http://open-ils.org/
Are there volunteers present the entire time the library is open to borrowers?

No, the library is open all hours but volunteers just come in 2 hrs a week.
I'm not sure how it could work but if we leave anything plugged in it will
get stolen or struck by lightning. We're in cloud forest.
With koha and open-ils do we have to run the software on a server or do we
I think it's going to be difficult to find a solution that's entirely cloud

What functionality do you need? If you have a very limited subset of
ILS/OPAC functions in mind, theoretically a LibraryThing paid account or
similar quasi-library service might suffice.
I'm having trouble
If I recall correctly, Librarything has a some kind of check-in/check-out
functionality, intended for people who use their personal collection as a
lending library.
I'm signing into my account to check right now.

How are you imagining the check-in/check-out working when there aren't
volunteers - a sign out sheet?
If all you want is essentially a sign-out sheet attached to a database of
your collection, it wouldn't be hard to whip something up, or use an
existing solution

There's some level of loaned/borrowed tracking functionality. Might do; at
least closer than LibraryThing.
