 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to thank my principal Mrs.

Mahalakshmi, who gave me the opportunity for
this useful project, which helped me to come
across more things in day-to-day life. I wish I
would like to thank my parents for their
encouragement and support without which I
could have not completed the project in the
allotted time.
In the end, I would like to thank my friends who
appreciated my work and motivated me to
continue my work.

 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

To develop a software named LIBRARY MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM to manage manual functions of a library. The
software helps to manage the entire library operations
from maintaining book records to issue a book. In
addition, it allows streamlined management of fine
details of books such as author name, costing, number
of copies existing in the library and many other
important details. It makes it easier to search for books
and find the right materials for students and the
librarian instantly.

INTRODUCTION :
 LMS (Library Management System)is also called an automated
library system. It is defined as software that has been established to
manage basic housekeeping function of a library.
The electronic management via the software is essential to track
information like issue date, due date who has borrowed any book
etc. The System is developed and designed with an aim to facilitate
efficient management to the schools to manage a modern library
with accurate data management. The software is intended to reduce
the manual work to manage library functions which have various
features.

IMPORTANCE OF A LMS IN SCHOOL EDUCATION

Library management systems facilitate the administrators to keep an
eye on the library departments all functions. Also, it enables
librarians and users to save time on daunting tasks and enhances
efficiency. By using this sort of library management system, the
school management would be able to follow the work outline and
fineness of different librarians’ capabilities. Additionally, they get an
opportunity to know how well maintained the record of issued books
and collection is. The librarian and the administrative department can
access various reports to implement new improvements.
Thus, the efficient library management software is essential to run
smart school functions, and maintain accurate data of a library.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT :

 The library management system is designed to meet the following
objectives :
❖ Simple and easy to operate.
❖ Increase librarian’s efficiencies.
❖ Search, add, update, and view library materials.
❖ Helps to manage library functions constructively.
❖ Saves time and reduces overheads.
❖ Reduce library’s operating cost.
❖ Customized reports for better management.
❖ Remove manual processes to issue books and maintain
records.

FUNCTIONS AND MODULES

Modules:
Module is a file that contains code to perform a specific task. A
module may contain variables, functions, classes, etc...
Module used in this project is:
import mysql.connecter:
By importing this package, we are able to establish the connection
between SQL and Python.
Functions:
A function is a set of instructions defined under a particular name,
which once written can be called whenever required. Functions
can be categorized into two types:

• Built-in
• User-defined
I have listed the used functions, their purpose and syntax in
this section. connect():
This function establishes connection between Python and MySQL.
cursor():
It is a special control structure that facilitates the row-by-row
Page 7 of 26

processing of records in the result set.

The syntax is:
 <cursor object>=<connection object>.cursor()
execute():
This function is used to execute the SQL query and retrieve records
using python.
The syntax is:
<cursor object>.execute(<sql query string>)
def():
A function is a block of code which only runs when it is called.
fetchall():
This function will return all the rows from the result set in the form
of a tuple containing the records. fetchone():
This function will return one row from the result set in the form of
a tuple containing the records. commit():
This function provides changes in the database physically.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

❖ Our project has 3 MySQL tablets. These are:

I. Books
II. Issue
III. Return

Page 8 of 26
 1. The table books contain the following columns:

a. bname
b. author
c. bcode
d. total
e. subject

2. The table issue contain the following columns:

a. name
b. regno
c. bcode
d. issue_date

3. The table return contain the following columns:

a. Name
b. regno
c. bcode
d. return_date

SOURCE CODE
For MySQL:
Create database library_app;
Use library_app;
CREATE TABLE BOOKS
(bname varchar(50),

bcode varchar(50)
total int(50) subject
varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE
ISSUE (name

int(50)
issue_date varchar(50));
CREATE TABLE
RETURN (name
