Learning occurs all the time in Gumby's environment because he loves to learn. The Library of Congress thought enough of Gumby to make him their spokescharacter from 1994 to 1995, because he could walk right into a book and live within the images that writers create in words on paper. Learn how the Internet connects Gumby to libraries all over the US, how digital literacy is the future, and how Gumby can go to Amazon Books and find any book he could ever want to read.

Gumby always loves to sit down and read a book. In a digital environment he finds that being literate means being willing to learn how to use new tools, such as the computer and the software that lets you do what you want to do.

An environment like the Internet enables the integration of people from all walks of life and at any economic level. The Internet enhances the quality of communication we have today and helps to connect all of us together as a whole.

You will discover, as Gumby and Pokey have, that imagination and creativity are becoming increasingly more important in the information age because they support the expansion of our knowledge and the deepening of our relationships.
