A simple Library Management System developed in Java, allowing users to borrow and return books with ease. The system enables users to interact with a collection of books and view available books, borrow books, and return them. 📖💡

Features ✨

• Add Books ➕: Add books to the library collection.
• Display Available Books 👀: View a list of books that are available to borrow.
• Borrow Books 🎧: Borrow a book if it's available.
• Return Books 🔙: Return a book to the library.
• Exit Option 🚪: Exit the system after completing operations.

Technologies Used 🛠️

• Java ☕
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) 🔄
• Data Structures: ArrayList 📊

How to Use 🚀

1. Clone the Repository: To use the Library Management System, clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone <repo-url>

2. Run the Program: Open the project in your favorite IDE (like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse) or run it from the terminal:

   java LibraryManagementSystem

3. Interact with the System:

   • You will be prompted with a list of available books in the library.
   • You will have the option to either borrow or return a book.
   • Type exit to quit the program. 👋

Example Workflow 🔄

• The user can first see the list of available books.
• The user will then be prompted to either borrow or return a book.
• If the user chooses to borrow a book, they will enter the book's title and author, and the book will be marked as borrowed. 📚
• Similarly, if the user chooses to return a book, they will enter the title and author, and the book will be marked as returned. 🔄

Code Structure 🏗️

• Library.java 📦: Contains the logic for adding books, displaying available books, borrowing, and returning books.
• Book.java 📖: Represents individual books with properties such as title, author, and availability status.
• LibraryManagementSystem.java 🎮: Contains the main program logic, where the user interacts with the system via the console.

Available Books:
Verity by Colleen Hoover
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
