Are you new to this country? Are you trying to practice speaking confidently in English? The Library is interested in forming informal conversation circles to give English language learners a chance to practice speaking (and listening to) English in everyday situations. The sessions will run about 40 minutes, and topics of conversations will be picked by the participants. This is not a class, it is an opportunity to practice what you have been learning from Ingles sin Barreras and other phrase books with a group of sympathetic listeners. For more information, contact Janet at 847-455-6016, ext. 222.

She also discovers that with these "lost" items, she can relive certain moments in her life. While experiencing these moments again, Maddy soon learns some startling truths about her life. But will Maddy be able to find out how she died?
