wow, this will be quite the project as you have many things to implement.

  • Working with a city means red tape, you may even be under law to require accessibility.

  • library means having a virtual card catalog systems, as well as probably being able to view check-in/out status

  • does the library have multiple branches?

  • about the ebooks. I wouldn't reinvent the wheel. Find a solution to implement like : 3m ebook Lending

Hi there, For the Library you will need to have a database where you will store information so definitely look at the MYSQL foundation course. Then in order to retrieve the information you will need to know PHP. And obviously you need to know HTML,CSS and basic JavaScript
