Library Management System

Project Overview

This project implements a simple Library Management System in C++. It allows librarians to manage books by performing operations such as adding new books, searching for books by title or ID, issuing and returning books, listing all books, and deleting books from the system. Data is stored persistently in a file (library_data.txt), ensuring that information is retained between sessions.

Features

• Add new books with ID, title, and author.
• Search for books by title or ID.
• Issue books to mark them as issued.
• Return books to mark them as available.
• List all books in the library.
• Delete books from the system.

Requirements

Functional Requirements

• C++ compiler (e.g., g++) installed on your system.
• Ability to compile and run C++ programs from the command line.

Non-Functional Requirements

• Basic understanding of C++ programming.
• Terminal or command prompt for executing the program.
