Ain't No Party Like My Nana's Tea Party

Or coffee party...Hey speaking of coffee and tea parties the library is hosting a Language Coffee House on February 26. You should totally come.
Everyone speaks English, right? Well, certainly not everyone speaks English. According to the CIA World Fact Book, only 5.6 % of the world's total population speaks English as a primary language. That number doubles when people who speak English as a second or third language are counted. By conservative estimates, that means that well over four-fifths of the world's population does not speak English.
