Library Management System for CICTE - Western Leyte College This project is a Library Management System designed specifically for the College of Information Communication Technology and Engineering (CICTE) at Western Leyte College. It allows administrators, librarians, and students to efficiently manage library resources, track book borrowing, monitor attendance, and more.
