🐇 Rabbit Hole Library System

The Rabbit Hole Library System is a Python-based final project built as part of the Python Session in my ongoing Cyber Security Course at HiiT.
It is a lightweight but feature-rich system designed to manage a library efficiently with both staff and user functionalities.

🎯 Special Notes

• This project was completed as the final project for the Python Session in my Cyber Security Course at HiiT.
• Special credit goes to Mr. Godwin, our passionate teacher, who takes the time to ensure we fully understand the concepts.
• This course has significantly improved my programming skills, allowing me to solve problems more easily and approach projects with an OOP mindset—without breaking my head! 😄

📌 To-Do / Future Enhancements

• Add support for exporting database to external files (JSON/CSV).
• Implement a simple authentication layer for staff and users.
• Add due date reminders for borrowed books.
• Enhance search with partial matching (e.g., fuzzy search).
• Create a basic GUI version for better interaction.
