Library Management System

A robust library management program built with C programming

Project Overview

The Library Management System is a user-friendly program developed in C that simplifies the management of library resources. This program enables librarians to efficiently manage book inventories, track issued and returned books, and maintain accurate records. It showcases the practical use of structures, file handling, and a well-designed command-line interface.

This project demonstrates the power of C programming for real-world applications, ensuring persistent data storage via CSV files and dynamic memory management for seamless operations.

Key Features

Add Books

Quickly add new books with details such as ID, title, author, and quantity.

Remove Books

Easily delete books by their unique ID and update the records automatically.

Search Books

Find books by ID, title, or author using efficient search algorithms.

Check Availability

Verify if a book is in stock and view the available quantity.

Algorithm Workflow

  1. Initialize the program by loading book data from the CSV file.
  2. Display the main menu with options: Add, Remove, Display, Search, Check Availability, and Exit.
  3. Execute user-selected operations such as adding or removing books and updating the CSV file.
  4. Handle errors gracefully and provide feedback for invalid inputs or operations.
  5. Save all changes to the CSV file upon exiting to ensure data persistence.
