Library Management System

Project Description:

Design and implement a Library Management System using Java OOP

principles. The system should allow users to borrow and return books, viewavailable books, and maintain user information. Project Structure:

Book Class: Properties: Book ID$,$ Title, Author, Availability, etc. Methods: Getters and setters, methods to check in and check out books. User Class: Properties: User ID$,$ Name, Books Borrowed, etc. Methods: Getters and setters, methods to borrow and return books. Library Class: Properties: List of Books, List of Users, etc. Methods: Methods to add$/$remove books, add$/$remove users, borrow$/$returnbooks$,$ view available books, etc. User Interface Class: Implement a console$-$based or GUI$-$based UI for users

to interact with the library system. Main Class: The entry point of the program that initializes the library anduser

interface. Additional Features $($Optional$)$

Due Dates and Overdue Fines: Implement due dates for borrowed books

and calculate overdue fines. Reservation System: Allow users to reserve books that are currently checkedout.

Project

User Authentication: Add a basic user authentication system$($username$/$password$)$ to secure the application. Transaction History: Implement a transaction history systemto track user

transactions $($e$.$g$.,$ books borrowed, returned$).$ Guidance for Implementation

Planning: Start with a detailed design and plan the classes, their properties, and methods. Identify relationships between classes $($e$.$g$.,$ Library has Books, Users borrow Books$).$ Implementation: Implement one class at a time, starting with the core classeslike Book and Library. Test each class independently before integratingtheminto the complete system. Testing: Test the system with various scenarios to ensure it behaves asexpected. Consider edge cases and handle exceptions gracefully. Documentation: Document your code using comments and provide a

README file explaining how to use your program. Enhancements: Consider adding additional features based on your interest

and project requirements
