About Library

The Library Module is used to provide another space for students to learn and encourage students to read. School libraries help students to find the information and knowledge they need to succeed now and in their future life and work. This module is used to maintain end-to-end details of the library, including books, publishers, book arrangement, availability, price, issue details, etc.

Library Module Workflow: First we have to add books to the library, then import books, and then view & search books in the Book List. We can also check the availability, issue and return details of any book, and check all the library reports. Students can also check the book list.
