📚 Library Management System – Java + SQLite
Welcome to the Library Management System, a console-based Java application that manages books and users in a library using an SQLite database. It allows basic operations such as adding books, adding users, borrowing, and returning books — with real-time updates stored persistently in a database.
🛠 Features
- 📘 Add new books with title, author, genre, and availability
- 👤 Register users with name and contact info
- 🔄 Borrow and return books with validation
- 🔍 Search books by title or author
- 💾 Persistent storage using SQLite
- 🧪 Organized, maintainable Java code with modular structure

🚀 Getting Started
✅ Prerequisites
- Java 8 or higher
- SQLite JDBC Driver (bundled in code or add as dependency)
- (Optional) Maven for project management
📦 Compile
bash
javac -d target/classes src/*.java
▶️ Run the System
bash
java -cp target/classes LIBRARY-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM.LibraryManagementSystem
Follow the menu in the terminal to:
- Add books
- Add users
- Borrow or return books
🧩 How It Works
- All data is stored in
library.dbusing SQLite. - The app ensures the required tables are created at runtime.
- It offers book and user lookup, availability checks, and borrowing logic.
- Modular OOP design: Book, User, Library, and the main system separated.
