📚 Library Management System

---

🚀 Overview

The Library Management System is a web-based application designed to simplify how users browse, search, borrow, and manage books. It provides an intuitive interface for both users (readers) and admins (library staff), featuring authentication, book categories, a cart, and a checkout process.

This project can serve as a base for educational purposes, portfolio work, or can be extended into a fully functional library platform.
