Library App

The library app, built with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and TypeScript, offers a digital platform for efficient management and access to a library's book collection. Users can create accounts, search for books by various criteria, and view comprehensive details such as availability and borrowing history. The app enables users to place holds on books that are currently checked out, receiving notifications when they become available.

This app streamlines library operations, enhancing user experience, and facilitating effective book management in a digital environment.
