Library Management System - LMS

Description

The Library Management System is a powerful Windows Forms (WinForms) desktop application developed to simplify and automate everyday library operations. Designed with a focus on functionality and efficiency, this system enables streamlined management of book inventories, member records, and the full cycle of book borrowing and returns.

Built using C# and the .NET Framework, the application follows a layered architecture comprising Business Logic (BL), Data Access Layer (DAL), and Models. This structure ensures clean code organization, maintainability, and scalability for future enhancements. Backed by a SQL Server database, the system guarantees reliable data handling and secure transactions.

The platform includes a wide range of practical features such as secure user authentication, book and member management, issue/return tracking, overdue and fine monitoring, and automated reporting. With its intuitive and user-friendly WinForms interface, the system offers a smooth experience for librarians and administrators alike.
