Library-Management-System

Overview

The Library Management System (LMS) is a comprehensive software solution designed to efficiently manage library operations, catering to both students and administrators. The system provides a user-friendly graphical interface for students to register, log in, borrow, and return books. Administrators, on the other hand, can oversee library statistics, manage students, and control the library's book inventory.

1. Introduction

The Library Management System is a Python-based application developed to streamline library processes. It consists of two main interfaces: one for students and another for administrators. Students can register, log in, borrow, and return books, while administrators can manage library statistics, oversee book inventory, and handle student information.

2. Features

For Students:

  • User registration and login.
  • View profile information.
  • Display borrowed books.
  • Browse and search for available books.
  • Borrow and return books.

For Admins:

  • Admin registration and login.
  • View profile information and library statistics.
  • Manage student information.
  • Browse and search for all books in the library.
  • Add, remove, and update books in the library.

3. Requirements

  1. Python 3.11
  2. customtkinter module
  3. time module
  4. PIL (Python Imaging Library) module
  5. sqlite3 module
  6. os module
  7. hashlib module
  8. random module

4. Installation

  1. Run packageinstaller.py to install the necessary packages.
  2. Execute lib_sys.py to start the Library Management System.

studentdetail:

  • username,
  • password,
  • class,
  • email,
  • pfp

booksdetail:
