📚 Library Management System (LMS)

A console-based Library Management System developed using Python, designed to manage basic library operations such as adding, searching, issuing, returning, and deleting books through a menu-driven interface.

This project demonstrates Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), file handling, and exception handling, making it suitable for hackathons, academic projects, and Python practice.

How the System Works

• Each book is assigned a unique Book ID starting from 101
• Book data is stored in a dictionary during runtime
• Book titles are saved permanently in books.csv
• Issued books store:
  • Lender name
  • Issue date & time
  • Current status (Available / Already Issued)
• Admin-only actions require a password
