Generally, I use the COPY command to import data; see
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/user/c49294939.htm
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/user/sql-copy.htm
for documentation on how to use it.

I'm involved in a similar library project; would you mind sharing the schema of
your database?

Much thanks.
