I don't think so. I think getting people talking about the same topics in an environment where the books are always around will probably actually drive sales. Especially questions like "What language should I use for (X)?" "Oh, use (Rails|PHP|ASP.NET MVC)!" "Cool, I'll go grab a book on that..."

It probably won't drive a huge spike in sales, but I really doubt it'll hurt them.
