This project was conducted in Port Townsend, Washington, to discover whether an invisible network of learning existed and to determine its characteristics. A total of 196 respondents were interviewed in the study. They included persons knowledgeable about learning in the community, providers of learning experiences, and a random sample of 75 names selected from the Port Townsend telephone directory. Data about community learning were also gathered from bulletin boards, local newspapers, and conversations. Five months of observations resulted in the discovery of an "invisible network of learning" in Port Townsend that contributed to the vitality of the city. Randomly selected respondents (50) participated in a total of 320 learning activities. The five most often used resources for these learning activities were "own selves," friends, own books and magazines, other resources, and family. Some of the learning experiences in which respondents were engaged included taking responsibility for a troubled child, designing a switch for a vacuum cleaner, lapidary work in Arizona, growth in family relationships, raised bed gardening, foster care for the elderly, computer classes, and sailing lessons. Learning providers included businesses, artisans, physicians, churches, government agencies, and individuals. Their motives for providing the experiences included the need to be involved, the need to deal with life crises, the need to preserve dying arts, and the need to earn an income. The researcher came to the conclusion that living is learning and learning is often supported by an invisible community network of a wide range of resources. (KC)
