This paper presents the implementation of a Raspberry pi-based Library Management System (LMS). Traditional libraries require students to manually search for books. Librarians also must manually classify and organize books together with other tasks like book managing, lending, and borrowing transactions. The introduction of the LMS streamlines these processes while ensuring a more optimal library management process. The LMS offers librarians a comprehensive set of features, including the ability to add, view, update, and remove books, as well as manage student information. Accessible through a wireless local area network (WLAN), the LMS empowers librarians to modify database records efficiently. The adoption of WLAN facilitates wireless connectivity among devices within a defined geographic area where the wireless network is active. The developed system leveraged on PHP for programming, HTML and CSS for design, and MySQL as the backend database technology. The system is hosted on an Apache 3.21 application server, with a Raspberry Pi 4 serving as the web server. Following deployment, the online library management system becomes accessible to users within proximity to the web server. Access is granted via the system's public IP address. The implementation of the developed LMS provides opportunities for better library management and accessibility.
