Library checkout and holds
Your task
Design a library checkout system. The library owns multiple physical copies of each book title. A member can borrow an available copy, with a due date set on checkout; returning a copy makes it available again, and overdue items accrue a small fine. Members can also place a hold on a title that has no copies available. Cover the data model, how a checkout works, and how holds are handled.
