For a number of years, White Box Linux [1][2] was supported by somebody 
from the Beauregard Parish Library in Louisiana.  He was a very 
interesting guy who I met at ALA Annual in Chicago in 1999 or 2000.  The 
project had a healthy run but was effectively replaced by the larger 
community effort of CentOS.

I don't recall that it had anything particular to libraries in its 
design, rather I'm pointing it out just because it was developed by a 
library staff person (as you asked) and it struck a certain chord in the 
broader community at the time.  I know I got a few good years of use out 
of it on several servers before switching to CentOS.
