  This technically trivial, all you have to do is 

  (1) build a static HTML page for every item in the catalog, with your
  library details and the details about the item

  (2) have some pages that allow to navigate items, and that allow
  a crawler to find all of them. 

  BTW, you may have more chances of local users finding the items
  with bing. I think bing has a lot more GeoIP intelligence built
  into it than Google.
