Without considering how your free use however you want effects others?

Absolutely.

Humans are social animals, hyper-individualism is antisocial.

Contrary to what the oligarchs tell you, greed and selfishness are character deficits and personal failings.

Not that they haven't spent the last century propagandizing attempting to rebrand them into virtues like the Orwellian rational self-interest.

Define the others, I'm not out here throwing trash on the streets or smashing windows, I don't mind helping the people in my community or lending the things that I own to them.

If there's one copy of a book in a town and its your cherished thing, that's fine.

If you're the only person in town with a copy of a library's worth of books and you aren't willing to share any with your community to borrow, you're allowed to do that, but you sound like someone who doesn't really want to be a member of a community.

Live together or die alone. We can be a civilization one day, or we can keep being monkeys throwing sticks at each other in the dirt, but with smartphones and smog.

In that case, it's all on a case-by-case basis.

There are some books that I would just give away since they would be taking up space, there are some books that I wouldn't mind lending to anyone at any time, and there are some books that I would only lend to someone that I know personally.

Sure, but we were never meant to be a global one, I'm perfectly fine with being a part of a certain tribe of monkeys that is ready to throw sticks at another tribe for our way of life.
