Description

📋 Description

Currently, the homepage book carousel only allows navigation through the small dots below to view the next set of books. This makes it slightly inconvenient for users to browse through the books quickly.

💡 Proposed Solution

Add right (›) and left (‹) navigation arrows to the carousel so users can easily move between book slides using the arrows instead of only relying on the dots.

🎯 Expected Behavior

  • Clicking the right arrow (›) should show the next set of books.
  • Clicking the left arrow (‹) should show the previous set of books.
  • The existing dot navigation should still work as it currently does.

🧩 Additional Notes

This enhancement will improve the overall user experience (UX) and make the carousel feel more intuitive and modern.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for the carousel component in the codebase, understand the current dot navigation logic, then add arrow buttons that trigger the same functions as the dots (e.g., go to next/previous slide). Ensure the arrows are styled with Tailwind and positioned appropriately.
