Closes #180

Clarify the learner profiles and audience for the lesson by noting that the dataset and exercises focus on library circulation data, though the Python skills are relevant in other library use cases.

This lesson is an introduction to programming in Python for library and information workers with little or no previous programming experience (see the [Learner Profiles](profiles.html) for examples of the kinds of people who might benefit from this lesson). It uses examples that are relevant to a range of library use cases, and is designed as a prerequisite for other Python lessons that will be developed in the future (e.g., web scraping, APIs). The lesson uses the JupyterLab computing environment and Python 3.
