<![CDATA[School libraries play an important role in supporting learning activities, but many are still managed manually, causing difficulties in managing book data, searching collections, and recording borrowing and returning transactions. SMP PGRI 9 Bandung faces similar challenges due to the absence of an integrated library management system. Previous studies have developed web-based library systems, but limited attention has been given to the combined integration of public catalog access, librarian-only administration, borrowing and returning transactions, fine payment recording, report generation, and website content management in a Laravel MVC-based system tailored to junior high school library operations. This study aims to design and develop a web-based library information system using the Laravel framework and the Waterfall method. The proposed system integrates book, category, publisher, member, borrowing, returning, fine payment, reporting, and public catalog search features into a single platform. Testing was conducted using black-box testing and user acceptance testing (UAT). The black-box testing results showed that all 10 functional scenarios were successful, achieving a 100% functional success rate. Meanwhile, UAT involving five respondents produced an average score of 4.52 out of 5.00, or 90.4%, which falls into the very feasible category. The specific contribution of this study is the development of an integrated Laravel MVC-based library system that combines administrative efficiency, public service accessibility, fine and report management, and customizable website content according to the operational needs of SMP PGRI 9 Bandung. The results indicate that the system can support more organized data management, improve service accessibility, and facilitate library transaction processing]]>
