searching, borrowing, and returning books. Store the library data
persistently in files (e.g., CSV or JSON). Implement user roles
(librarian, member).

Java Intermediate 94 tasks

Learning Outcomes
Advanced OOP concepts.

File I/O operations (Serialization, CSV/JSON handling).

Working with dates and times (java.time package).

Data management and searching algorithms.

Object relationships (e.g., a Member borrows multiple Books).
