PTBC 10 Project 1 Submission - Stewart

[nordic-roast]

For project 1, I have developed a react-based web app to help users discover UX library book collection and where to find them in public libraries.

As the NLB library has strict rate limiting on API calls, I had to export the responses as mocks for the axios calls to work.

As the next steps, will lean in further to see how to cache some of these responses in the in-memory cache to make fewer API calls and also to store the book collection in Firebase to extend the functionality further to include Book and Reserve functions.
