Blockchain is an innovative technology that could replace the current internet framework with a secure hash algorithm based on consensus-based transactions in P2P networks. Library management is an important part of modern libraries. In an advanced library, Library management is currently done on RFID-based kiosk implementation on KOHA or other Library management software to facilitate self-check-in and out. The problem of auditing and stocktaking of books, journals, periodicals is still a big issue despite library automation based on RFID. Blockchain-based library management systems being transparent and immutable records are the answer to full proof auditing and stocktaking in the present setup of advanced libraries. Blockchain library management system restricts the use of copyright digital materials. Here we are demonstrating an illustration of library management using blockchain written using solidity language on Remix IDE. The blockchain implementation of Library management of books is successfully executed on Remix IDE. In this paper, we have given the source code of the smart contract and its snapshots for the blockchain library management of books using blockchain technology.
