README.md MINI LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM � � Overview The Mini Library Management System is a simple Python-based project designed to manage books and members in a small library. It demonstrates CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) and borrowing/returning functionalities using Python data structures — dictionaries, lists, and tuples. � � Features • Add, search, update, and delete books • Add, update, and delete members • Borrow and return books • List all available books and active members • Validations for duplicates and borrowing limits � � Data Structures Used • Dictionary (dict): Used to store books with their ISBN as unique keys for fast lookup and updates. • List (list): Used to store multiple members and their borrowed books. • Tuple (tuple): Used to define fixed genres of books since they don’t change often. � � ️ Project Files • operations.py → Contains all the library management functions (core logic) • demo.py → Demonstrates how each function works step-by-step • README.md → Project overview and setup instructions ⚙ ️ How It Works
