Hi!

This project is created for learning purposes and serves as a simple dynamic web application for an imaginary local library. Built using Django, it focuses on back-end and database logic, with minimal emphasis on front-end styling.

Features:

Authentication system based on Django's framework.
Automated mail system.
Staff members can perform CRUD operations on books, authors, and copies, as well as modify return dates of books.
Users and staff members have different access levels and corresponding pages.
Users can view the availability status of books in the library, helping them decide whether to borrow a book.
Users have the ability to view a list of books they have borrowed.
Staff members have access to a comprehensive list of borrowed books, including those borrowed by other members, in addition to being able to view the books they have borrowed themselves.
And the other features such as detailed author information, providing users with comprehensive details about each author, as well as book details.
Asynchronous pagination.
And more.
