2. Overall Description

2.1 Product Perspective

In this project library system can be used by both students, librarian and the staff members. It will

issuing them, reissuing them, returning the books as well as calculating the fine if the user exceeds
the given time limit to keep a book. The librarian will receive all the information of the books and
users to maintain the library databse. The main purpose of the system is to reduce the manual work
load.
