📚 Library Book Management System

📌 Overview

This is a Library Book Management System implemented in C++17.
It demonstrates:

• Inheritance (FictionBook, ScienceBook, HistoryBook inherit from Book)
• Polymorphism (virtual functions and overrides)
• Smart Pointers (std::unique_ptr)
• Static members (tracking active books)
• Move semantics (move constructor & assignment)
