About the app: django_local_library

Tutorial "Local Library" website written in Django. This is based on the excellent MDN Django tutorial..


This web application creates an online catalog for a small local library, where users can browse available books and manage their accounts.

The main features that have currently been implemented are:

  • There are models for books, book copies, genre, language and authors.
  • Users can view list and detail information for books and authors.
  • Admin users can create and manage models. The admin has been optimised (the basic registration is present in admin.py, but commented out).
  • Librarians can renew reserved books
