Crawford County is located in north-central
Michigan’s
Lower Peninsula. Much of
the county’s
land area is in the AuSable State and Huron Manistee National
Forests.
Reflecting the area’s emphasis on the out-of-doors, the
Library’s collections
include one devoted to fly-fishing. The area is an outdoor
enthusiast’s delight
every season of the year and the kind of place people love to visit – and love to
call home, while
the location on I-75 allows for ease of travel.

management skills; has
a comprehensive understanding of library finances and budgeting
and excellent
overall financial management ability; is flexible and energetic;
has strong
communication skills and is comfortable with representing the
library in the community;
is knowledgeable regarding current technology and its use in
public
libraries; and has an
overall
understanding of current public library operations and services.
