Lifelong Learning

As we embark on this online learning and discovery journey, we will start by reviewing a few habits that can assist us in becoming better lifelong learners.

The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County has put together a list of habits for lifelong learning. The list and accompanying tutorial is titled 7 ½ Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners. This tutorial will provide us with a refresher on what it means to be a lifelong learner. As you view the tutorial, think about how these habits relate to your own life.
