📚 iLibrary – Digital Library Management System

iLibrary is a web-based Digital Library Management System designed to simplify and digitize the process of managing books in a college library.
Built as part of my BCA Final Year Project (2022), the system allows students to check book availability online and librarians to manage issuing/returning books easily.
