Yes, but not all books can be loaned. You can do it through the "Manage Your Kindle" link on amazon.com If it can be loaned, you'll see a special icon when you hold your mouse over it. The loans are just for two weeks and then the book will automatically disappear.
Many libraries also now have loaning programs, so you should look into that as well. Amazon prime members can also get some books for free.
Also, I just read Jo W.'s answer below and it is not correct. You do not need to give anyone your amazon password so they won't have access to your full account. You DO need to give the email address associated with your amazon account in order for them to send you the book.
