Library Management System in C

1. Introduction

This project is based on the C programming language and is intended to provide a simple system for

managing a library. It handles book records, user records, issue and return of books, and other library

activities.

2. Objective

To create a user-friendly library management system that helps librarians manage books and transactions

efficiently using C language.

3. Existing System

Traditional library management is manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors. It requires a lot of paperwork

and human effort.

4. Proposed System

The proposed system will automate the core functions of the library using C programming. It allows adding,

deleting, issuing, and returning books via a console-based application.

5. System Requirements

Language: C

Compiler: GCC / Turbo C

Operating System: Windows / Linux

Text Editor: Notepad++ / Code::Blocks

6. Software and Hardware Specifications
