Mini-Project #2 Design a Library Management System A Library Management System is an example of an information system built to handle the primary functions of a library In this Library Management System project, you can enter the record of new books and retrieve the details of books available in the library. You can issue the books to the students and maintain their records. Late fine is charged for students who returns the issued books after the due date.
