Nelligan-api

JS lib that can interact with the Nelligan Montral book library system: list book on your card, check when you need to renew, renew books... The Montreal system is based over the III Encore product so it might work with other systems using same software.

# define your user library card
card = {
  code: '1277777',

}

# list actual books on the card
const books = await api.books(card)
