# Library Management System
This project provides a simple and interactive shell for managing different sections of a library. It allows users to add, lookup, and display books in the Biology, Economy, and History sections.
## Files
The project consists of two main Python files:
1. `library.py`: This module defines a `Library` class and several subclasses for different sections of a library. Each class provides methods for managing books in that section.
2. `script.py`: This script provides an interactive shell for managing different sections of a library. It allows the user to add, lookup, and display books in the Biology, Economy, and History sections.
## Classes
### Library
The `Library` class represents a library. It provides the following methods:
- `load_books()`: Load books from a file.
- `save_books()`: Save books to a file.
- `add_book()`: Add a book to the library.
- `lookup_book()`: Search for a book in the library.
- `display_books()`: Display all books in the library.
### Biology, Economy, History
These classes represent the Biology, Economy, and History sections in the library. They are subclasses of the `Library` class and inherit all its methods.
## LibraryShell
The `LibraryShell` class provides an interactive shell for managing different sections in the library. It provides the following commands:
- `add SECTION`: Add a new book to the selected section.
- `lookup SECTION`: Search for a book in the selected section.
- `display SECTION`: Display all books available in the selected section.
- `exit`: Exit the program.
## Usage
To start the interactive shell, run the `script.py` script:
```
bash
./script.py
```
Then, you can use the add, lookup, display, and exit commands to manage the library.
Use `help` or `?` with command name to know more about the command.
```
$ ./script.py
Welcome to the library shell, Type help or ? to list commands.
(library) help
