Project Description

The task is to develop a library management system using Flask. This system should allow users $($librarians or library members$)$ to:

Add Books: Add new books to the library database, including title, author, publication year, language, and other relevant information.

Manage Books: Edit book information, mark books as checked out, and manage book availability.

Search Books: Allow users to search for books by various criteria $($e$.$g$.,$ title, author, language, publication year$).$

Manage Users: Register new library members, edit member information, and manage member accounts.

Check Out$/$In Books: Allow users to check out books from the library and return them.

View Check$-$Out History: Track the check$-$out history for users and books, showing which users have borrowed which books.

Authentication and Authorization: Implement authentication for users $($e$.$g$.,$ login and registration$)$ and authorization $($e$.$g$.,$ admin or librarian roles$).$

Deliverables

GitHub Repository: Create a GitHub repository containing the project's code, with clear and consistent commit messages. Include a

file with

instructions on how to run the project.

Documentation: Provide thorough documentation for the project, including API endpoints, data models, and other relevant information.

Source Code: Develop a Flask application following good coding practices $($e$.$g$.,$ PEP $8)$ and organize code into separate modules $($e$.$g$.,$ routes, models,

templates$).$

Database Schema: Design a normalized SQLite database schema for the library system, including tables for books, users, and check$-$out history.

User Interface: Create a user$-$friendly web interface using HTML$,$ CSS$,$ and JavaScript.

Testing: Include unit tests and integration tests to ensure that the application functions correctly.
