The Library management system

I am pleased to present you my console application!

This app is designed to origanize and simplify work of librarians in console aesthetic way. The application allows you to add, edit, and delete books, as well as customers, and perform operations: take books from the library and return them. And all this is accompanied by an incredible console graphical interface.

Usage

Get ready to be surprised! But the interaction with the program is through the console. For this purpose, the application has a virtual command line.

You can enter special command words to navigate through tabs or to act on objects.
