This Library Management System is designed to streamline the process of searching for and borrowing media. The application offers a user-friendly interface where customers can quickly search the catalog, view detailed information about media items, and see a list of their currently borrowed items. Additionally, library staff can securely log in to access administrative tools for managing media records and user accounts.
