Cromaine serves an independent library district encompassing all of Hartland, and parts of five other townships, with 29,699 residents. The 18,200 square-foot building was recently expanded (2017) and renovated (2019). The Library has a staff of 29 (22.5 FTEs), a collection of over 67,000 physical items including a Library of Things, as well as 2.1 million e-items, and an annual general fund (operating, capital, and gift) budget of $2.34 million. A productive and generous Friends of Cromaine group, business sponsors, in-kind nonprofit partnerships, and vibrant adult and teen volunteer programs boost the library's accomplishments. Cromaine Library is focused on the community it serves and all of the individuals who choose to live, work, and learn within the district. Known for its friendly, high-quality service and for offering exceptional events, such as Hartland's Polar Express Day and the Summer Concert Series, as well as classes for people of all ages and interests, it is the place to learn, discover, and connect. An integral touchstone of a nearly 100-year-old legacy called the Hartland Area Project, Cromaine has led in the use of technologies among libraries its size in the state.

It enjoys small-town charm with convenient big-city access to Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, and Detroit.

Hartland Township is committed to preserving green spaces while pursuing smart growth. The Hartland School District is a Premier School of Choice district because of its reputation for embracing a whole-child approach to education. The Chamber works to connect businesses, civic groups, local government, education, and the community to advance the economic, professional, and civic welfare of the Hartland area. The Library serves as the cultural center of the community supporting learners, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. Responsibilities.
