Chinese storytelling

Here is a very cool opportunity for families with children from China (kids and parents both), for Chinese students who might be missing home, and for anybody who wants "something completely different!" A woman from China, River Yang, is going to be reading stories to children in Chinese, singing songs, and doing crafts one or two nights a month on our regular Wednesday Family Storytime night, 7:00--8:00 pm. (Note: Family Storytime used to be on Mondays, so this is a change to Wednesday nights.) River will be assisted by one of our Children's/Young Adult librarians, Dana McMurray (who just happens to have chldren from China in his family). Many Missoula families do have children from China, so we have a good potential audience. Remember that human brains are more primed to learn language when they're young than at any other time. Come join us and stretch your mind.
