The Library Management System is a web application developed using JSP (JavaServer Pages), Servlet, and MySQL. It provides a comprehensive solution for managing library operations, including book cataloging, user management, and book lending. The application establishes a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) connection to interact with a MySQL database and execute various queries to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
