I started one just after spring break this year in our high school staff
lounge, so it's only for staff, not students. I have a small budget set
aside to replenish a few times a year, which should keep it fresh. I gave
the following parameters when I sent out an introductory email to our
building:

"We welcome any books you’ve personally enjoyed which are in good, clean
condition with sturdy bindings. They may be fiction, nonfiction, adult, or
YA. Please, no magazines, textbooks, or reference materials."


So far, it's been quite popular, and nothing junky has made it to the
shelf, which I think was helped by seeding the shelves with new or like-new
copies of current popular books (although a few teachers have stopped by my
office with books to "donate" which I have no interest in).

I pass the LFL on the way to my mailbox every day, so it's easy to keep an
eye on. I'm not sure it would work as well here to have it be available for
students as well.
