The tech folks at Grand Rapids Public Library in Michigan have cooked up a 
scheme that meters internet access and they have configured squid and apache 
and perl to put the time a patron has left in the titlebar on the browser. 

They have packaged the system up for download- look at http://www.grpl.org/ism/

Hope this helps -
