This looks very ambitious. We developed a mobile library app for several 
German university libraries but decided to do it as native application 
for iOS and Android:

https://github.com/gbv/bibapp-android
https://github.com/gbv/bibapp-ios

Your approach looks very interesting also to see which technologies seem 
to be suitable today.

Good luck!
Jakob
