LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(PYTHON FINAL PROJECT) - MAHDI

Create a console based library management system in python language in which you needs to
import json and create a blank dictionary named books and you have to display 5 options for a
user to choose one.

============================================================================

1) Please enter 1-Add Book

2) Please enter 2- Issue Book
3) Please enter 3- Return Book
4) Please enter 4- View Book
5) Please enter 5- quit

Then take input the user choice.

Using if elif conditions call the corresponding functions of the user choice.

============================================================================

Function # 1

Create a function to add a new book in which you have to take input in the following variables

1) book_name
2) book_author
3) book_status = “available”
3) book_accession_number

Add book_name, book_status and book_author to a dictionary b1.

Open books.json file for reading.
Retrieve the books dictionary using load function.

Assign b1 to the books dictionary with book_accession_number as a key then dump the books
dictionary to a books.json file.

Code Hint
books[book_accession_number] = b1
============================================================================

Function # 2
Create a function to issue a in which you have to take input the book_accession_number and
amount to be deposited in the below variable

book_accession_number

Open a books.json file to read its data and search the corresponding book_accession_number in
the retrieved books dictionary to access the book_status against the book_accession_number.

Code Hint
book_status = books[book_accession_number][“ book_status”]

check if the book_status is “available” change the book_status to “issued” and replace it to the
position else display that the book is already issued.

Code Hint
books[book_accession_number][“ book_status”] = “Issued”

Again open a books.json file for writing purpose and dump the updated books dictionary to the file.
============================================================================

Function # 3

Create a function to return issued books for which you have to take input the book_accession_
number in the below variable.

book_accession_number

Open books.json file to read its data and search the corresponding book_accession_number in the
retrieved books dictionary to access the book_status against the book_accession_number.
Change the book_status to “available” of the accessed book_status and replace it to the position.

Code Hint
books[book_accession_number][“ book_status”] = “available”

Again open a books.json file for writing purpose and dump the updated books dictionary to the
file.
============================================================================

Function # 4

Create a function to view a book for which you have to take input the book_accession_ number
in the below variable.

book_accession_number

Open books.json file to read its data and search the corresponding book_accession_number in the
retrieved books dictionary to access the book_name, book_author and book_status against the
book_accession_number.
Display the book_name, book_author and book_status.
============================================================================

NOTE: Repeat the process using while loop by setting Flag until user give input on each function to
end the program.

Best of luck
