Introduction
The Library Management System project is developed
using Python and SQLite to manage library operations efficiently. The system connects to an SQLite database to store and manage book data, including book titles, authors, and available copies, as well as track issued books, including issue dates, due dates, and return statuses. Python’s sqlite3 library is used to perform operations like adding books, issuing and returning books, searching for books, and displaying issued book details. This project demonstrates how Python can be integrated with SQL to create a simple yet effective system for managing library resources. Library Management System Features
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language
known for its simplicity and readability. Developed by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python is widely used in various fields, including web development, data science, automation, and software development. It is known for its easy-to-understand syntax, which emphasizes readability and reduces the complexity of writing code. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. In this project, Python serves as the core language to implement the logic and functionality of the Library Management System. The powerful libraries and modules
available in Python, such as sqlite3, make it an ideal choice
for building such applications. Python is also platform- independent, meaning it can run on various operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. Python’s extensive libraries and frameworks allow developers to quickly build applications, as seen in this project, where it connects to and interacts with a database, handles user inputs, and manages data efficiently.

SQLite is a self-contained, serverless, and zero-
configuration database engine that is widely used in embedded systems, mobile applications, and small to medium-sized desktop applications. Unlike other database management systems (DBMS) like MySQL or PostgreSQL, SQLite does not require a separate server process or system to operate. Instead, it stores data in a single file on the local file system, making it lightweight and easy to integrate into applications. SQLite is an open-source software that is used in many mobile apps, web browsers, and even desktop applications, like web browsers and applications that require a small, local database. In this project, SQLite is used to store and manage data related to books, their availability, and the issue and return details of library books. The sqlite3 module in Python allows seamless integration between Python and SQLite databases. It helps in connecting to the SQLite database, creating tables, executing SQL queries, and fetching data. SQLite's simplicity makes it an ideal choice for small to medium- sized applications like this one, where a full-fledged DBMS is not required. Library Management System Features
The Library Management System in this project is designed to
simplify library operations by automating key tasks. It includes the following features: 1. Add Books : The system allows administrators to add new books to the library by specifying the book title, author, and the number of available copies. 2. Search Books : Users can search for books by title or author. The system retrieves matching results from the database and displays them to the user. 3. Issue Books : When a book is issued to a user, the system records the issue details, including the user's name, the issue date, and the due date for the return. The number of available copies is automatically updated in the database. 4. Return Books : When a book is returned, the system checks for any late return, calculates the late fee based on the number of days overdue, and updates the book's availability status. 5. Display Issued Books : The system allows users to view all issued books, including the issue date, due date, and return status. Bibliography
