-## Libcore - Library Management
-write the purpose of the library management and what makes this more beneficial for libraries to use.
-## Features
+# LIBcore Library Management System
 
-- Book search
-- List of books checked out or still in stock
-- Late check on books not returned by a certain date
-- 
+## 📚 Purpose
+The LIBcore Library Management System is designed to streamline the way libraries manage book lending, user activity, and inventory. It replaces manual systems and spreadsheets with an interactive, multi-user networked application that makes library management easy, efficient, and scalable.
 
+This system is particularly beneficial to libraries because:
+- It supports **multi-user concurrent access** via a client-server architecture.
+- Users (members) and staff have **separate interfaces** tailored to their roles.
+- It maintains organized **digital records** of users, books, and loan history using structured text files.
+- It includes logic to track late returns and automatically update resource availability.
 
-## Usage
+---
 
-```java
-usage explanation here
+## ✨ Features
+
+### ✅ Book Search
+Users can view all available books in a clean tabular format with columns for ID, Title, Author, Category, and Availability.
+
+### ✅ Check Book Status
+Staff can see which books are currently checked out and which are in stock.
+
+### ✅ Late Check
+Automatically identifies books not returned by the due date and flags them as overdue.
+
+### ✅ GUI Dashboard
+- Built using `Swing`, the GUI is interactive and intuitive.
+- Members can browse, borrow, and return books easily.
+- Staff can manage resources, view user data, export transactions, and perform admin actions.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Usage & Setup
+
+### 1. Clone the repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ttran569/libcore.git
+cd libcore
+git checkout ttran569-patch-1
+```
+
+### 2. Project Structure
+```
+libcore/
+├── src/
+│   ├── client/
+│   │   ├── member/          # Member GUI and client logic
+│   │   │   └── MemberGUI.java, MemberClient.java
+│   │   └── staff/           # Staff GUI and client logic
+│   │       └── StaffGUI.java, StaffClient.java
+│   ├── server/              # Server code and networking
+│   │   ├── Server.java, ClientHandler.java
+│   └── server/services/     # Business logic
+│       └── ResourceManager.java, TransactionManager.java, UserManager.java
+├── data/
+│   ├── users.txt
+│   ├── resources.txt
+│   └── transactions.txt
+```
+
+### 3. How to Run
+1. Start the server:
+```bash
+Run Server.java (Eclipse or CLI)
 ```
 
+2. Run Staff or Member client on separate machines or windows:
+```bash
+Run StaffClient.java or MemberClient.java
+```
+> Clients communicate with the server via sockets.
+
+### 4. Text Files Used
+- `users.txt`: contains all user information
+- `resources.txt`: contains all book records
+- `transactions.txt`: contains borrow/return history
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Code Explanation
+
+### `ClientHandler.java`
+- Core server-side logic
+- Handles login, logout, view resources, borrow, return, export transactions
+
+### `ResourceManager.java`
+- Adds, edits, deletes, and checks availability of resources
+- Updates `resources.txt`
+
+### `TransactionManager.java`
+- Logs all transactions
+- Exports and filters overdue books
+
+### `UserManager.java`
+- Displays user data from `users.txt`
+
+### `StaffGUI.java`
+- GUI for staff
+- Options to view/add books, view users, return/borrow, export logs
+
+### `MemberGUI.java`
+- GUI for members
+- Simplified to borrow, return, and view available books
+
+### `SessionManager.java`
+- Handles user sessions and session expiry (future-ready)
+
+### `AuthenticationService.java`
+- Validates user login credentials from `users.txt`
+
+---
+
+## 👥 User Roles
+- `STAFF`: Full access to resources and logs
+- `MEMBER`: Can only borrow/return/view books
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Notes
+- Uses plain `.txt` files instead of a DB for simplicity
+- Easily expandable to JDBC / MySQL / SQLite in the future
+- Fully object-oriented, modular design using Java and Swing
