Want a new job for the holidays? Hartland's Cromaine Library is hiring!
by Ceci Marlow 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

*Cromaine Is the Cultural Center of Hartland…and our community appreciates that* A beautiful new addition has been completed, under budget, and we finally have spaces for our staff to continue to create new and innovate traditional library services and collections. As the Cultural Center of Hartland, Hartland’s Cromaine is expected by its community to offer music and art, as well as all of the science, engineering and technology engagement possible for all ages. *We have a 20-hour Adult Services Librarian position *available with principal responsibilities for magazines, technology instruction, and collection development for sections of fiction and nonfiction for adults. All of our Librarians are cross-trained for Adult, Youth, Teen, and Circulation. You may not do a story time, but you’ll probably assist with desk coverage in Youth and at Circulation as well as some other programming (Quidditch Tournament anyone?) In 2017, Hartland’s Cromaine celebrated its 90th year of service with a big splash, including the grand opening of the new space. *We are the place to connect—with warm and friendly staff, the Web, and the community. If that’s your desire, interest, and future vision, too, then we need you! * Cromaine District Library is located near the intersection of M-59 and US-23—easy to get to from Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Flint. Hartland’s Cromaine (built in 1927, expanded in 1980, and again this year, 2017) has the elegant Community Room, a large physical collection and large digital collection, plus two new smaller meeting rooms, a Youth Program Room, and three new study rooms as a result of the little addition to this building. *We also have a serious commitment to outreach, participating in many events and exhibits beyond our walls* as well as finding new ways to be active outside this building in a busy community. Cromaine wins grants, including several National Endowment for the Arts’ The Big Read. Grants for technology in Youth, local business sponsorships for an expanded summer concert series, exhibits from the Smithsonian and to be a pilot for a national grant program—we are a place to connect to culture, music, technology, makers, as well as reading in every format. *Many of the grants support a very full event calendar* (check It out at WWW.CROMAINE.ORG) We are an OverDrive (TLN’s Download Destination) plus Advantage, hoopla, and RB Digital (Zinio) library. We also offer Kanopy and Universal Class services supporting our lifelong learners. We welcome new technologies and ways to improve collections and services, taking seriously every patron request. We pay MLS librarians $19.00 per hour to start, 20 hours per week; includes some evenings and weekends. MLA membership and national conference attendance (in rotation) paid. After successful completion of the 90-day introductory period, an increase to $19.50 is planned. Part-time positions at Cromaine have prorated paid time off, plus holiday pay, paid birthday, and paid bereavement leave as well as an opportunity to participate in AFLAC, but no other paid benefits. Share your love for new technologies and public service with a community that loves its library and its library staff even more. Send your application (available at WWW.CROMAINE.ORG) resume and a cover letter to “Librarian” at Cromaine or e-mail (preferred to be “green”) to brentola(a)cromaine.org by December 11, 2017—position applications accepted until filled. -- Cecilia Ann Marlow Library Director Cromaine District Library 810-632-5200, ext. 105

Labor Law Posters for 2018 - time to order
by Kate Pohjola Andrade 29 Nov '17

29 Nov '17

Hello everyone, Please forgive the cross posting and likely duplication. I want to share this as widely as possible. Feel free to share this with colleagues who may not have seen it. Since your last purchase, the required Labor Law Poster sets (4 laminated 18 x 24 panels) have been revised with an update to the Michigan Law Prohibits Discrimination poster, minor updates to the federal USERRA posting and Michigan Unemployment Insurance Act posting, and the minimum wage for contractors notice for 2018. Now is a great time to renew your subscription and get the new set! Each set is $29, but as our group grows, the price per library comes down. Last year, we ordered 103 sets, so each library paid $20 per set, including the shipping tube. You will receive all updates released during the coming year, which are sent to you via email. Best part: This will let you tell the overly aggressive and sometimes shady vendors who likely hound you and your staff that you're taken care of for the year. If they keep bugging you, feel free to send 'em to me and I'll see if they can provide a better deal *and* keep funds in Michigan! Reserve your Labor Law Poster sets here here: https://goo.gl/forms/f52sVaLe0jv1G5by2 *Ordering deadline is Friday, December 15, 2017 at 5:00pm.* We'll ship posters out as soon as we receive them. Thank you! kate -- Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director Woodlands Library Cooperative 517-629-9469 586-801-0725 - cell/text http://woodlands.lib.mi.us
