Step-by-step explanation:
Problem: Library Management System
Object-Oriented Programming can be used to create a Library Management System. The system can help librarians to keep track of books, manage the library’s collection, and provide users with an easy way to search for and borrow books.

User Requirements:
The system should be easy to use for librarians and members.
The system should allow librarians to add, edit, and remove books and members.
The system should allow librarians to search for books and members by various criteria.
The system should provide members with an easy way to search for and borrow books.
The system should keep track of book availability and due dates.
The system should generate reports on book usage and member activity.
Software Development Plan:
Gather requirements and define scope
Design the system architecture
Implement the system using Python's object-oriented programming features
Test the system
Deploy the system on the library's servers
Train librarians and users on how to use the system
Software Solution:
The Library Management System will consist of several classes:
Book: Stores book details such as title, author, ISBN, etc.
Member: Stores member details such as name, contact information, etc.
Library: Manages the library's collection of books and members.
Borrowing: Manages the borrowing and returning of books.
Evaluation:
The software solution will be evaluated against the user requirements to ensure that it meets the needs of the library and its users. The system will also be evaluated based on its performance, security, and ease of use. Any issues will be addressed and resolved before final deployment
