Adult Services Librarian, part-time, at Hartland's Cromaine Library
by Ceci Marlow 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

*/Cromaine Is the Cultural Center of Hartland…and our community appreciates that!/* With construction nearly complete for a 3800 square foot addition, 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?) This year Hartland’s Cromaine celebrates its 90^th year of service with a big splash September 29 and 30. *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 new 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 Zinio library. 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 <mailto:brentola@cromaine.org> by July 18, 2017—position applications accepted until filled. -- Cecilia Ann Marlow Library Director Cromaine District Library

The boxes have been spoken for. Knew it wouldn't take long. Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave. Flint, MI 48504 Tel. 810-230-3329 FAX 810-732-1161 From: michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org] On Behalf Of Darwin McGuire Sent: Friday, June 23, 2017 10:18 AM To: michlib-l(a)mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Media Boxes Available I have a stack of about 50 corrugated media boxes available free for whoever might have use for them. The inside dimensions are 6.25" x 9.25" x1". Perfect for sending DVDs through RIDES-they hold 2 snugly. The boxes are all untaped, unfolded and ready to use. OK-here's the back story. I ordered new end cap sign holders for a branch, and the signs came in these boxes. As I untaped and unfolded and stacked them to make disposal easier, I realized they look similar to the 1000 media boxes I bought from Uline awhile back. Too good to throw out. Let me know if you want some or all. Thanks. Darwin McGuire Technical Services Manager Genesee District Library 4195 W. Pasadena Ave. Flint, MI 48504 Tel. 810-230-3329 FAX 810-732-1161
