Exercise 1: Library Management System

Design a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) for a Library Management System. In this system, a Librarian
is responsible for managing the library's book inventory, including adding new books, updating
details of existing books, and removing books when necessary. Members of the library can search
for books based on various criteria, borrow books, and return them when they are done. The system
should maintain a record of all available books and members. Additionally, the librarian should be
able to view reports on the borrowing and returning activities of members. Create a Level 0 and
Level 1 DFD to illustrate these interactions.
