Abstract: The efficiency of locating books in large libraries is a significant challenge, often leading to user frustration and reduced satisfaction. This study addresses these issues by developing and evaluating a Library Book Finding System that integrates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of locating books. The system utilizes mobile applications and strategically placed sensors to significantly reduce search time and improve user experience. The research employed a descriptive and developmental approach, using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model to facilitate quick software deployment. User satisfaction and system usability were quantitatively assessed using the Post- Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) and qualitatively through text case analysis. Results indicated that 85% of users experienced increased efficiency in locating books, 88% trusted the accuracy of the information provided, and 83% appreciated the system's user-friendly interface. The study highlights the potential of RFID and BLE technologies to create intelligent library environments, with data analytics playing a crucial role in refining the system to meet user needs better and enhance overall library service delivery.
