What do you think about Lifelong Learning?


Well, Lifelong learning is forever......   

Lifelong learning starts with me... 
Lifelong learning starts with you....
Actually lifelong learning starts with us.....

According to IFLA (2009, p. 2) “Lifelong learning can be defined as all purposeful learning activity undertaken on an ongoing basis with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competence. It contains various forms of education and training, formal, non-formal and informal, e.g. the traditional school system from primary to tertiary level, free adult education, informal search and training, individually, in a group setting or within the framework of social movements”.

The public library, the local gateway to knowledge provides a basic condition for lifelong learning, independent decision-making and cultural development of the individual and social groups.”
