2. Create a web/mobile app design prototypein Figma that would let students search a book and see if it is available in the library instead of physically going to the library.
3. If a student is interested in a book then send notification if the book was reserved before and comes back.

Student: Jane Doe

Jane says that it is inconvenient to go to the library to search for a book. She prefers an online platform to do so.	She thinks that it is a waste of time to go to the library to search for a book only to realize that it is already reserved by someone else.
She usually goes to the library to search for a book Most of the time the book is either unavailable or reserved by someone else.	She feels this can be optimzed with an online web app which can let her know about availability before she even goes to the library This could even reduce noise and people walking around in the library, helping other to concentrate better.
