### Preface

In the world of digitization, automation plays a vital role in simplifying tasks. This investigatory

project titled "Library Management System using Python" is an attempt to create an efficient and

user-friendly system for managing a library's operations. The project showcases how Python

programming can be leveraged to streamline book lending, inventory tracking, and user registration

processes.

### Acknowledgment

I express my heartfelt gratitude to my computer science teacher, [Teacher's Name], for their

guidance and support throughout this project. I also thank my peers and family for their

encouragement. This project would not have been possible without their valuable inputs and

suggestions.

### Introduction

Libraries are essential hubs of knowledge, offering access to books and resources for learning and

development. However, managing a library efficiently can be challenging without an automated

system. The "Library Management System" is designed to address these challenges. Using Python,

this system aims to manage books, users, and transactions effectively.

The objectives of this project are:

1. To simplify the management of library records.

2. To ensure accurate tracking of books and transactions.

3. To provide an interactive and user-friendly interface.


### Body

#### 1. Problem Statement

Traditional library management involves manual record-keeping, which is time-consuming and prone

to errors. This project automates the process to improve efficiency and accuracy.

#### 2. Proposed Solution

The Library Management System is developed using Python, incorporating modules such as Tkinter

for the GUI, SQLite for database management, and other standard libraries for functionality.

#### 3. System Design

##### a. Features:

1. Add, update, or delete book records.

2. Register and manage user profiles.

3. Issue and return books.

4. Search for books by title, author, or ID.

5. Display reports for issued and available books.

##### b. System Architecture:

1. **Frontend**: Developed using Tkinter to provide an intuitive interface.

2. **Backend**: SQLite database stores information about books and users.

3. **Programming Language**: Python 3.x.

#### 4. Implementation

Below is an overview of the code:


##### i. Importing Required Libraries:

```python

import sqlite3

from tkinter import *

from tkinter import messagebox

```

##### ii. Database Setup:

```python

def setup_database():

connection = sqlite3.connect("library.db")

cursor = connection.cursor()

cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS books (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, title

TEXT, author TEXT, year INTEGER, copies INTEGER)")

cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name

TEXT, email TEXT)")

cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS transactions (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,

book_id INTEGER, user_id INTEGER, issue_date TEXT, return_date TEXT, FOREIGN

KEY(book_id) REFERENCES books(id), FOREIGN KEY(user_id) REFERENCES users(id))")

connection.commit()

connection.close()

```

##### iii. GUI Setup:

```python

def main_screen():

root = Tk()
root.title("Library Management System")

Label(root, text="Welcome to Library Management System", font=("Helvetica", 16)).pack()

Button(root, text="Add Book", command=add_book).pack()

Button(root, text="View Books", command=view_books).pack()

root.mainloop()

```

#### 5. Testing and Results

The system was tested under various scenarios, including adding new books, registering users,

issuing books, and generating reports. The results demonstrated significant efficiency in library

management.

#### 6. Future Enhancements

1. Integration of barcode scanning for book tracking.

2. Online access for users to check book availability.

3. Enhanced security features.
