The Library Management System is a multi-user application designed to manage the issuing and returning of e-books. It includes functionalities for both librarians and general users (students).

• Flask: For application code
• Jinja2 templates + Bootstrap: For HTML generation and styling
• SQLite: For data storage ##Wireframe

• Login/Register: Users can create an account and log in.
• View Sections/e-books: Users can view all the existing sections and e-books.
• Request/Return Books: Users can request and return e-books.
  • A user can request a maximum of 5 e-books.
  • A user can access a book for a specific period of time (e.g., N hours/days/weeks).
    • For example, if N = 7 days, the user can return the book before 7 days. If they fail to do so, access to the book will be automatically revoked after 7 days.
• Feedback: Users can give feedback for an e-book.

• Issue e-books: Issue one or multiple e-books to a user.
