+#  Library Management System in C
+
+
+## whatiss it ?
+
+- **Search & Sort**: search for books by title, author, or year, and sort results by title or year. - i used bubble sort
+- **Librarian Actions**: Librarians can add and delete books, with 'maybe' plans for modifying book records.
+- **Retro ui**: I like the retro look a lot so why not?
+
+---
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+### Backend:
+- **C**: Core logic for searching, sorting, and managing books.
+- **Node.js**: talks with ui and the C file.
+- **Express.js**: RESTful routes.
+
+### Frontend:
+- **HTML/CSS**
+- **NES.css**
+- **JavaScript**
+
+### Database (Future Plan):
+- **CSV (Current)**: Csv for now haha
+- **SQL (Future)**: probably **SQLite** or **MySQL** 
+
+---
+
+## you can try it !
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/INAHIDC/DR.BOOKMAN.git
+   cd Book Keeper
+   ```
+
+2. Compile the **C files**
+
+
+3. Run the librarian program
+
+4. Set up the front-end server (You need to have Node.js)
+   ```bash
+   node server.js
+   ```
+
+### Members:
+-  `/member` lets you search and sort books.
+- type a title, author, or year, and click "Search." and then sort results by title or year after searching.
+
+### Librarians:
+-  `/librarian`, log in with the password `knowledge`, and manage the library.

+
+## Maybe Plans (maybe ill maybe not)
+
+1. **Move to SQL**: maybe move from the CSV file to a relational db like **SQL**
+2. **More Librarian Functions**:  features like modifying book details, borrowing/returning functionality
+3. **Gamification**: because im a gamer i think will add grammar challenges or quizzes, turning it into a small game with points and leaderboards?
