Database Design:
Tables: Users, Books, Loans, Genres, Authors, etc.

Relationships: Users can borrow Books, Books can have multiple Loans, etc.
Implement data integrity constraints and triggers for efficient management.
Development Approach:
Implement modules iteratively, starting with core functionalities.
Use clear coding practices and modular design for maintainability.

Validate user input to prevent security vulnerabilities.
Implement user authentication and authorization for different roles.
Testing and Deployment:
Thoroughly test all functionalities manually and with automated tools.
Deploy the application on a web server accessible to users.

Evaluation and Future Improvements:
Gather user feedback and address issues during maintenance.
Implement new features based on user needs and feedback.
Consider performance optimization and scalability for large datasets.
Additional Notes:

This is a basic outline, and specific modules and features can be adjusted based on the needs and
requirements.
Research existing open-source library management systems for inspiration and potential libraries to utilize.

Always keep security and data privacy in mind when developing and deploying the system.
