Abstract
The Library Management System is a software application that helps manage a library efficiently. Earlier libraries were managed manually, where records of books, students, and issued items were kept in registers. This manual system often led to problems such as lost data, difficulty finding records, and wasted time. With technology advancing, there is a need for an automated system. The proposed Library Management System aims to provide a solution for managing books, newspapers, magazines and student records through a web-based platform.
This system is developed using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the user interface, while PHP and MySQL are used for backend processing and database management. The system allows administrators to perform tasks such as adding books, managing students, issuing items, and tracking return status. It also helps reduce errors and improve efficiency. The goal of this research is to analyse the design, development, and implementation of a Library Management System and to highlight its advantages over existing methods.

Conclusion
The Library Management System is an efficient solution for managing library operations. It simplifies the process of managing books, students, and issued items, reducing librarians’ workload. The Library Management System provides reliable data improving overall efficiency.
The use of web technologies makes the Library Management System accessible and easy to use. Although there are some limitations, the Library Management System can be improved with features in the future. This research highlights the importance of automation, in library management. Demonstrates how technology can be used to solve real-world problems effectively.
