Depending on the amount you have, it might be worth scripting. You'd
have to look up the name to get the borrowernumber, and the barcode for
the itemnumber, and then insert them in.

I have a script that does something similar:
http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=import/csv/waitaki_circ.pl;h=ed6fb2b3c595c3eeb142e4904126b7c2de560885;hb=waitaki_import
unfortunately it's a bit under-documented as it's for migrating from
specific software, and I edit it each time I need to change things, but
it may get you somewhere.
