📚 Library Management System – Java Mini Project

🧾 Overview

This is a Java-based Library Management System that allows users to manage books and readers. It provides two user interfaces :

• Console-based Menu-Driven Interface
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Swing and AWT

All data (readers and books) is stored and managed through JSON files, ensuring persistent and structured storage.
