Library-Management-Systems

In this app there are multiple libraries. In each library there are multiple librarians and books. So basically a member can borrow a book from the library only if he is a member.

Processes and Services:

  1. Book is issued by the librarian and then has to be returned within a due date of 7 days.
  2. If at all he doesn't return the book on or before the due date he is going to pay the fine as assigned by the library standards.
  3. I have implemented the concept of
    post_save
    so that as soon the book is returned it is shown available for the rest of the members of library.
  4. A member can borrow only limited books from the library.
