The library management web application is a versatile system designed to manage various aspects of a library. It equips users with robust functionalities, including the creation, modification, and removal of book records, user profiles, categories, and borrowing orders. Patrons of the library can conveniently search for books, reserve books, manage their borrowing history, and process returns directly through the platform.
Library administrators benefit immensely from the system's capability to manage the book inventory with precision. New books can be cataloged, existing entries can be updated with current information, and obsolete records can be purged as needed.
