Version 2:

In this version I improved the code by combining all the data in one Django Function View to show it in one map.

Added Layer Control functionality to switch between different layers.

Changed the default style of the Markers and used font awesome icons:

* ` h-square ` Icon for Hospitals Layer.
* ` graduation-cap ` Icon for Public Schools Layer.
* ` book ` Icon for Public Libraries Layer.
