There are a few ways it could be done, depends how you want to model it. 
One method would be to have "Borrow" as a class, and use properties to 
fill in the details:

x rdf:type ns:Borrow
x ns:lender "Mike"
x ns:borrower "Tom"
x ns:object "a book"

The subject x would be a blank node or a URI that identified this 
particular event.
