Library Management System (LMS)

📚 Project Overview

The Library Management System (LMS) is a robust application built in C++, leveraging a doubly linked list data structure to efficiently store and manage book records. Each book is represented by the BookNode class, containing vital details such as the book's title, author, genre, unique ID, and quantity. The system is designed to streamline library operations through features like sorting, searching, and dynamic management of book records.
