April Kid Librarian of the Month

The Harlowton Public Library, along with Hillcrest Elementary School, is pleased to honor one student each month to be named Kid Librarian of the Month.
We would like to introduce our Kid Librarian for April, Ruby Vanek.

The Harlowton Public Library and Hillcrest Elementary School are proud to continue the 2025-26 Kid Librarian program, a year-long initiative celebrating students who demonstrate exceptional behavior, manners, and respect.

 

How the Program Works

Each month, Hillcrest Elementary teachers nominate six students who have shown outstanding behavior in the lunchroom, on the bus, on the playground, and in the school hallways. One winner is selected through a random drawing to receive the prestigious title of Kid Librarian of the Month.

April’s Kid Librarian:

Ruby Vanek

Congratulations to Ruby Vanek, our Kid Librarian for April 2026! Ruby has already made her mark by creating her own book and DVD display at the Harlowton Public Library. As this month’s honoree, Ruby receives several special privileges:

  • A personalized book display at the Harlowton Public Library
  • Recognition in the Engineer Express newspaper
  • Features on both the Harlowton Public Library and Hillcrest Elementary Facebook pages
  • The opportunity to choose one classmate to join her for lunch in Ms. Snelling’s office

The Kid Librarian program reinforces positive behavior while fostering a love of reading and community engagement. We look forward to recognizing more deserving students throughout the school year and celebrating the values that make Hillcrest Elementary a wonderful place to learn.

Stay tuned for next month’s Kid Librarian announcement!
