A full-featured Library Management System built using Python and Django.
The application digitizes library operations by providing separate Admin and Student panels.
Admins can manage books, authors, categories, and issuing operations, while students can browse books, track issued books, and manage their profiles.
The Smart Library Management System simplifies traditional library workflows by allowing:
- Digital book catalog management
- Student account management
- Book issuing and return tracking
- Inventory monitoring
- Role-based access (Admin & Student)
This project demonstrates a complete CRUD-based web application with authentication and dashboard analytics.
