Case 026
Case corpus: a self-authored library checkout catalog
library_catalog.eml is a class-based case in a self-authored batch of six OOP utilities (alongside examples/bank-account-simulator/, examples/simple-stack/, examples/simple-queue/, examples/inventory-tracker/, and examples/parking-lot-tracker/) — part of growing the EML case corpus toward AI-native training scale, not a port of an existing project.

EML
eml# Self-authored for the EML case corpus (no external origin). A class-based
# library catalog exercising a dict literal + subscript get/set through a
# `self` attribute (`self.books`, title -> checked-out boolean), a parallel
# list of titles grown via `existing + [item] => existing` for ordered
# iteration, bare `True`/`False` literals bound through `=>` (as in
# todo-list-manager), and `try`/`except`/`raise ValueError` for checking out
# a book that is already checked out.
