unborrowable
Not available lending
Something unborrowable cannot be borrowed—either because lending isn't permitted or because no one would lend it.
Library materials marked as reference-only are unborrowable: The rare manuscript is unborrowable; you'll have to view it in the reading room.
The word also applies to things no reasonable person would loan out: My grandmother's ring is unborrowable.
