1 Introduction
A library management system is a software used to manage all the activities running libraries.
The university library system is used to ensure the successful operation of the university library.
A lot of activities take place in the library. These include borrowing books, paying charges,
ensuring there are books in the library by the patrons, using books, viewing available books in
the library and returning books in the library on the time to avoid penalties. This system can
display the date the book is borrowed and the time it is supposed to be returned [1]. The system
can calculate the penalty and charges to the student in case there is a delay in returning the book.
A library is a busy sector in any learning institution since it's the main organ of the institution. It
requires accuracy and transparency to prevent the loss of school materials. The key members of
this university Library system are students and the patrons. Patrons control the issuing of books,
ensure there are books in the library and ensures the students return the books. Students use the
books in the library by borrowing, returns the book after use and pays the charges. This system
has simplified the operation in the library.
