# 📚 Library Management System
Welcome to the **Library Management System**! This console-based application is designed to streamline the management of books in a library. It offers a user-friendly interface for librarians and students, enabling efficient handling of a large collection of books with functionalities such as adding new books, viewing available books, tracking their availability, and managing student records. The system uses a CSV file to store data, allowing it to handle a database of up to **100,000 books**.
## 🚀 Features
- **Add New Books**:
- Librarians can add details for new books, including title, author, publisher, price, year, and availability.
- The system automatically updates the CSV file to reflect the newly added books.
- **View Books**:
- Fetch and display the list of all available books in a structured format.
- Easily filter or search for specific books based on various attributes.
- **Track Availability**:
- Mark books as available or unavailable for issue.
- Keep track of books that are currently issued to students.
- **Manage Student Records**:
- Add and view student information, allowing for easy tracking of which student has issued which book.
- **User-Friendly Command-Line Interface**:
- Simple and intuitive CLI that guides users through various operations.
- Error handling and validation to ensure data integrity.
