SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
Libraries used to be one of the best source to pursue knowledge especially for boomers and millennials. In this modern era, libraries, especially in schools and colleges are suffering due to the clumsy staff in record keeping, improper management and a lack of efficient guidance as it becomes a hassle to find a particular book in the whole army of book shelves. Due to this, libraries are becoming deserted. Moreover, managing a library requires huge manpower and is also time consuming. The technological progression might help in modernizing the libraries through AI which lure readers back in. Hence an AI based library book management is suitable to assist the above mentioned problem. AI based books management system which comprises: RFID (101), Wi-Fi (102), bookshelf tracker (103), logbook tracker (104), control unit (105), AI terminal (107), a power source (106), display unit (108), reader’s ID (109) and a client application software (110). Radio frequency identification (RFID) (101), comprising of tags and readers, is provided at the entrance where the reader will scan his QR code on their library card. RFID (101) will send the reader’s information to the controlling unit (105) through Wi-Fi (102) which are all powered by a battery/power source (106). After registration of the reader, the librarian at the entrance will check the ID of the reader for granting access showed on the display unit and the reader could then access the mobile application (110). The user will type the name of the book he/she wants in the search box of the application (110). The app (110) contacts the control unit connected to the book shelf tracker (103). The logbook tracker and book shelf tracker tracks the exact location of the book searched and sends the location to CU (105) which in turn shows it to the reader on the application (110). The transfer of information is assisted by the AI (107). After retrieval of book location from the CU (105) to the app, the reader will be able to approach the bookshelf directly rather than getting confused and standing in long queues on query desk. The reader will scan the QR of the book which will add the book to the issue list. Now the reader could check out from the same entrance using the same library card.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION:
The idea of AI based library books management helps in filling the gaps of some of many problems faces in management of books and information in libraries. Given below are key advantages of the AI based library books management:
• Ease of access: In order to search for a book in an immense library, the reader or staff does not have to roam here and there. The application software (110) makes it handy for the reader to get the exact location of the book in the library.
• Maintaining book data: Since the issue, return and reserved books are all monitored by the AI (107), the librarian won’t get a hard time keeping records.
• Accuracy: AI based books management is capable of keeping information with utmost accuracy unlike manual recording system.
• Time efficient: Searching for a book will become easy as the reader only have to search the book name in the application(110) which will show them the book case and shelf location rather than asking the librarian who need to search up the book location through manual records which in turn takes up so much time.
• Easy issue and return: Scanning barcode of the book on the application thereby saves the reader from standing in long queues to issue books. Also, the application (110) will notify the reader about the return due date to make sure they don’t forget.
