Where has the moon gone? It has disappeared from the sky and Rendi seems to be the only one who has even noticed. Although Rendi was in a new village, because he had run away from home, he found work as an inn-keepers chore boy. No one had visited this inn or this town in some time and nothing ever seemed to happen. However, one day a mysterious Madame Chang arrives with wonderful stories of Chinese folklore. It is through the telling of these stories that the pieces of the puzzle begin to unfold. Each story reveals a little bit about the teller and offers a clue that helps answer, "what happened to the moon?" 

Library Storytime is a developmentally important and meaningful experience for children. When you bring your child to storytime, you introduce him to the Library, the best picture books, and what may be his first group experience with children his own age. By attending weekly, you make storytime part of his routine, and teach him that the library is not only where you go to get more free books, but where you go to have lots of entertaining fun. This fun time is also enriching.

Richland Library is dedicated to helping your child get ready for kindergarten. Nothing prepares a child for school better than reading aloud. Your preschooler will learn the alphabet and practice narrative skills as you read together. Read to your child every day, and before you know it they will be reading on their own!

"By the time a child is 5, he will have heard 90% of all the words that he will ever know.” Jim Trelease, The Read Aloud Handbook

At birth, a baby's brain is the only part of his body still developing. Read to your baby and his brain will grow big and strong. Books help you introduce your baby to rare words, language and the whole wide world. Come to the library for storytime every week and share books at home every day.
