This is quite close to the question, how to tag collection bins for charity 
shops:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:shop%3Dcharity

We have a whole set of tags for recycling, maybe we should copy that for all 
kinds of reuse instead. That would be for places to leave things for reuse
amenity=reuse
reuse:books=yes

For places to get things for free, one could maybe use shop=* and then some 
other tag to show it is for free. Maybe payment=free.
