Be a Connector and a
Connection for
Cromaine District Library!
Learn -
technology, online education, new interest
Enjoy –
discovery, enrichment, cultural and leisure activities
People –
expertise, gatherings and groups, friends, legacy
We believe 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! We have a rare
full-time opening for an Adult Services
Manager. Jeanne Smith will retire this June and has held
the combined
position of Adult & Youth Services Manager, the combining
being a
finance-driven decision. A Staffing & Compensation Study
led to the
decision to again separate the two roles and responsibilities.
(Look separately
for the Youth Services Manager position, also full-time.) The
Adult Services
Manager will also take on grant-writing, fundraising and
development, a busy
but fruitful activity at Cromaine.
Cromaine
District Library is
located near the intersection of M-59 and US-23—easy to get to

including National Endowment for the Arts’ The Big Read--our
seventh year’

technology in Youth, local business
sponsorships for a 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.
