This project is a Smart Library Management System that uses RFID tags and an IR sensor to automate the process of book identification. When a book (embedded with an RFID tag) is placed near the scanner, the IR sensor detects its presence and prompts the system to scan the RFID tag. The book information is then displayed on an LCD screen.

The Smart Library System is designed to simplify book tracking in libraries. It combines RFID technology with an IR sensor to detect and identify books quickly and accurately. When a book is placed near the scanner, the IR sensor detects the motion, triggering the RFID reader to read the book’s tag. This UID (Unique Identifier) is compared with a database of known books, and the book's title is displayed on the 16x2 LCD. This system improves efficiency and reduces manual errors in library management.

System Initialization:
The LCD shows a welcome message.
RFID and IR sensor modules are initialized.
IR Sensor Detection:
When a book is placed in front of the IR sensor, it detects the object and prompts the user to scan the RFID tag.
RFID Tag Reading:
The MFRC522 reads the UID from the RFID tag attached to the book.
UID Matching:
The UID is matched against a predefined list in the code (a simple simulated database).
If a match is found, the book name is shown.
If no match is found, it displays “Unknown Book”.
Display Output:
The book title (or unknown status) is displayed on the 16x2 LCD.
Reset State:
After a short delay, the system resets and waits for the next book to be placed.
