 Aim of the Project

The aim of this project is to develop a Library Management System that

facilitates the efficient management of library operations.

This system will allow librarians to handle essential tasks such as adding new
books and student records, issuing and returning books, deleting outdated
records, and displaying current inventory and membership information.

Additionally, the system will provide a visual representation of available books

by genre, enabling better resource planning and genre-specific analysis. The
project will utilize Python and MySQL to create a user-friendly, menu-driven
interface for streamlined and organized library management.

 Installation Procedure

Step 1: Install Python

1. Download the latest version of Python from python.org.
2. Run the installer and check the option Add Python to PATH before
installing.

Step 2: Install MySQL Server

1. Download the MySQL Installer from MySQL Community Downloads.
2. Run the installer and choose Custom setup, then select MySQL Server
and MySQL Workbench.
3. Set up a root password during installation. Make sure to remember this,
as it will be needed to connect from Python.
4. Complete the installation and verify by opening MySQL Workbench or
Command Line Client.

Step 3: Install Required Python Packages

1. Open Command Prompt and run the following commands to install the
necessary libraries:
pip install mysql-connector-python
pip install matplotlib
2. Verify installation by running:
python -c "import mysql.connector; import matplotlib.pyplot as plt"
If no errors appear, the packages are installed successfully.
Step 4: Set Up the MySQL Database
1. Open MySQL Workbench or MySQL Command Line Client.
2. Create a database named LIBRARY_MGT_SYS:
Sql:

Page | 7
CREATE DATABASE LIBRARY_MGT_SYS;
3. Switch to the newly created database:
USE LIBRARY_MGT_SYS;
4. Create the necessary tables:
CREATE TABLE STUDENTS (
STUDENT_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
STUDENT_NAME VARCHAR(100),
GRADE INT,
EMAIL VARCHAR(100),
PHONE VARCHAR(15)
);

CREATE TABLE BOOKS (

BOOK_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
TITLE VARCHAR(200),
AUTHOR VARCHAR(100),
GENRE VARCHAR(50),
TOTAL_COPIES INT,
AVAILABLE_COPIES INT
);

CREATE TABLE BOOKS_ISSUED (

ISSUE_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
BOOK_ID INT,
STUDENT_ID INT,
ISSUE_DATE DATE,
RETURN_DATE DATE,
FOREIGN KEY (BOOK_ID) REFERENCES BOOKS(BOOK_ID),
FOREIGN KEY (STUDENT_ID) REFERENCES STUDENTS(STUDENT_ID)
);
5. Confirm that the tables have been created by running:

Page | 8
SHOW TABLES;

Step 5: Run the Program

1. Open your code editor or IDE (such as Visual Studio Code or PyCharm).
2. Open the Python file containing your Library Management System code.
3. Run the program. You should see the main menu displayed with options
to add, delete, issue, return, display records, and generate genre
statistics.

Step 6: Testing the Program

1. Select each menu option to test functionality.
2. Verify that records are being added, updated, deleted, and displayed
correctly.
3. Check that the genre bar graph displays as expected.

 Errors Identified

1. ModuleNotFoundError: Occurs if required modules (mysql.connector or

matplotlib) are not installed. Solution: Install missing packages via pip install.

2. Database Connection Error: Happens when connection credentials are

incorrect, or the MySQL server is down. Solution: Verify MySQL server status
and connection details.

3. IntegrityError (Duplicate Entry): Raised when attempting to insert a

record with a duplicate primary key. Solution: Check for existing entries before
insertion.

4. ValueError: Triggered if the user inputs non-integer data where integers are
expected. Solution: Use try-except to catch and handle invalid inputs.

5. Foreign Key Constraint Error: Occurs if issuing a book to a non-existent

student or book. Solution: Validate that STUDENT_ID and BOOK_ID exist
before inserting into BOOKS_ISSUED.

 Future Modifications

1. Enhanced Search Functionality:

• Add advanced search options to find books or students by various
attributes (e.g., genre, author, student name) to make the system more
user-friendly.

2. Fine Management System:

• Implement a system to track overdue books and calculate fines based on
the number of days a book is late. This could include automated
reminders for students.

3. User Authentication:
• Introduce login functionality with role-based access control (e.g., admin
and user roles) to enhance security and prevent unauthorized data
access.

4. Inventory Notification System:

• Add notifications or alerts when the number of available copies for a
book is low, helping library staff manage inventory more effectively.

5. Data Backup and Restore:

• Implement automated data backup and restore features to prevent data
loss and make the system more resilient to unexpected failures.
