A library management system integrated with a bit of social networking. This project was undertaken to cultivate a deeper understanding of full-stack development using Laravel. By actively engaging with Laravel's features and capabilities, I aimed to enhance my proficiency in both backend and frontend development while building a functional application that showcases my grasp of modern web development practices.

• Make sure you have PHP and Composer installed on your system.
• Install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx) and a database server (e.g., MySQL) if not already installed.

All email addresses used within this project are for testing purposes only. To fully implement and test the "Forgot Password" feature, it's recommended to set up your own Mailtrap account.

• Go to Mailtrap and sign up for a new account if you don't already have one.
• Create a new mailbox within Mailtrap.
• In the SMTP Settings, change the integrations to Laravel 9+ since this project uses Laravel 10, and configure your mail configuration by setting the values below it in the .env file in your project root directory.
