Abstract: In this paper we investigate the moments and the distribution of $L(1,ch{i}_D)$, where $ch{i}_D$ varies over quadratic characters associated to square-free polynomials $D$ of degree $n$ over $mathbb{F}_q$, as $noinfty$. Our first result gives asymptotic formulas for the complex moments of $L(1,ch{i}_D)$ in a large uniform range. Previously, only the first moment has been computed due to work of Andrade and Jung. Using our asymptotic formulas together with the saddle-point method, we show that the distribution function of $L(1,ch{i}_D)$ is very close to that of a corresponding probabilistic model. In particular, we uncover an interesting feature in the distribution of large (and small) values of $L(1,ch{i}_D)$, that is not present in the number field setting. We also obtain $Omega$-results for the extreme values of $L(1,ch{i}_D)$, which we conjecture to be best possible. Specializing $n=2g+1$ and making use of one case of Artin's class number formula, we obtain similar results for the class number $h_D$ associated to $mathbb{F}_q(T)[sqrtD]$. Similarly, specializing to $n=2g+2$ we can appeal to the second case of Artin's class number formula and deduce analogous results for $h_D{R}_D$ where $R_D$ is the regulator of $mathbb{F}_q(T)[sqrtD]$.
