Library booking is an important problem nowadays, which decides budgets of the whole library. Therefore, we should present proper model or method to solve this problem. This paper applies cooperative game theory and non-cooperation game theory when designing a library booking system to analyze the above problem. More especially, we analyze the problems in library booking system towards the view of game theory. Then we present two applications of cooperative and non-cooperation game theory respectively. Simulation experiments are set up according to the applications and the results are of consistence to the former analyses. Therefore, we solve the booking problem with game theory. Finally we conclude that game theory is an efficient tool, which can solve various problems in library booking and can also give credible results to improve efficiencies.
