LibraLink

Description

LibraLink is a library management system that I built mainly for library admins. It has features like user sign-in, managing books, book copies, premium members, employees, and tracking book checkouts. It also has a dashboard that shows cool graphs and stats about everything happening in the library.

The project aims to incorporate both basic and advanced functionalities over time, enhancing the overall library management experience.
