The Role of Libraries in realising SDG 4 – Inclusive, Equitable and Quality Education: The West African Perspective

By Nkem Osuigwe Libraries exist within the formal and informal sectors of the learning ecosystem.

Personality Types and You

I read about temperaments decades ago. Knowing people's temperaments helps you understand why they act the way they do, according to Tim Lahaye in his book, Why You Act the Way You Do. In that book, he went ahead to list the four major temperaments and made it easy for us to identify which was ours and also those that belonged to people we know.
