Local Library Node MVC Project

This is a Node.js Express MVC project for a local library website. It is based on the MDN Express tutorial and the Express Application Generator.

NOTE: MVC is a software design pattern that separates the application into three main logical components: the model, the view, and the controller. The model is the data, the view is the presentation, and the controller is the interface between them.
