 ABSTRACT

A Library Management System is a system that is used to maintain the records of the library.

It contains work like the number of available books, the number of books issued, the number

of books to return or renew. It helps to maintain a database that is useful to enter new books

and records of books borrowed by the members with the respective submission dates. It will

reduce the manual work done by the librarian to maintain the records of the library. It allows

maintaining the resources in a more operative manner that will help to save time. It is also

convenient for the librarian to manage the process of books allocation. It is useful for

students as well as a librarian to keep constant track of the availability of all books in a

library.
