 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Firstly I would like to thank our Principal Sir

Mr.Prashant Sharma who gave me the golden
opportunity to make this project. I would also like to
thank my teacher Mrs. Shraddha Trivedi to guide us
throughout the project.

I would like you thank my parents who had their full

support whenever I needed their help.

Last but not the least I would like to thank my friends

who also equally contributed to help me complete the
project successfully.

 Introduction:

The Library Management System is a database-driven

application that automates the process of managing books
in a library. This system allows users to add new books,
view available books, delete books, issue books, return
books, and track the status of issued books. The system is
designed to simplify the library's day-to-day operations by
providing an easy-to-use interface for both library staff
and users. It is built using MySQL for database
management and Python for implementing the system
logic and user interface.

 Objective:

1. Efficient Book Management:

The objective of this project is to develop a system
that allows easy management of library books,
including the ability to add, delete, and update the
status of books.
2. Issuing and Returning Books:
The system aims to automate the issuing and
returning of books, updating the status of the book
(e.g., available or issued) accordingly.
3. Tracking Issued Books:
The system maintains a record of issued books along
with relevant details like issuer name, issue date, and
return date.
4. Database Management:
To implement a centralized database that stores
information about books, issues, and returns, ensuring
data integrity and easy retrieval of information.

5
 Limitation of the Project:

1. Manual Input of Data:

The project relies on user input for adding, updating,
and deleting books. Any errors in data input can
affect the overall functioning of the system.
2. No User Authentication:
The system does not have any user authentication or
authorization mechanism, which means anyone can
perform actions like issuing or deleting books.
Implementing user roles (e.g., admin and user) would
enhance security.
3. Limited Functionality:
The current version of the system does not support
advanced features such as overdue book tracking,
fines calculation, or advanced search options.
4. Lack of Data Validation:
While the system takes input from the user, it does
not check for data consistency or validate the input
rigorously. Invalid or incorrect data entries can lead
to system malfunction.
5. No Data Backup/Recovery:
The project does not include a backup mechanism. If
the database gets corrupted or deleted, the data would

6
be lost, which can be addressed with backup and
recovery features.

7
 Hardware Requirements:

1. Computer/Laptop:
A basic computer or laptop with the required
operating system (Windows/Linux/Mac) for running
the Python script and MySQL server.
2. Storage Device:
Sufficient storage to store the MySQL database and
Python scripts.
3. Internet Connection:
Needed for installing packages like MySQL
Connector and Python libraries (if not already
installed).

8
 Software Requirements:

1. Operating System:
Windows/Linux/Mac OS.
2. Python:
Python 3.x, which is the programming language used
for implementing the logic behind the Library
Management System.
3. MySQL:
MySQL 5.x or above is used to manage the database
and store information regarding the books and issued
records.
4. MySQL Connector for Python:
The mysql.connector Python module is required to
connect Python with the MySQL database. It can be
installed using the following command:
bash Copy code pip install
MySQL-connector-python
5. Text Editor or IDE:
Any code editor or Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) like Visual Studio Code,
PyCharm, or Sublime Text for writing and editing the
Python code.
