Library Management System is a robust, object-oriented Java application that demonstrates clean architecture, modular design, and practical software engineering principles. Built to simulate real-world library operations, this system enables efficient management of books and users, with scalable logic for borrowing/returning workflows.
✔️ Add, remove, and list books
✔️ Add, remove, and list users
✔️ Issue books to users
✔️ Return books and update inventory
✔️ Efficient tracking of book availability
✔️ Pure Java implementation with OOP best practices
