5. The library was our best friend

We would borrow and return books regularly, book time to use the computers in the library and attend library-based events.

Books form the foundation of all learning and our early exposure to it helped form positive relationships with texts.

Most entrepreneurs in #LeastDevelopedCountries start businesses that rely on low-value skills. Matfobhi Riba, who helped write our just-released #LDCReport 2018, tells us how governments can foster the right entrepreneurship – the kind that leads to industrial take-off.
