P.S.  This is supposed to be used by many different people and user
friendly.  So, forms and buttons and anything else would be very helpful.

Hyun,

Try looking at the various sample and "collection" sample databases
provided with Office/Access.

You might be able to use or modify one of these (e.g., "Book Collection" to
get what you need.

If you installed them as part of your Offcie or Access installation, you
will find them on your hard drive under:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Databases\.....

Hope this helps!

Good Luck!

Bill

Microsoft Sql Server 6.5 study course has a 10 page description of a
library database.  I think it shows many of the tables and discusses many
of the issues you need to consider when writing such an app.
