*/Hartland’s Cromaine Library – Connecting Culture and Community for 90 Years!/* Nearly ninety years ago, we were given a mission by J. Robert Crouse, founder of Cromaine and of the Hartland Area Project, a 1920s exercise in social entrepreneurship. To this day, we continue the legacy of bringing cultural enrichment to this mostly rural community through a busy event calendar, a great collection, and an innovative, creative staff that is people- and service-focused. If you understand that value and believe you have skills and interests to further this mission, then we need you! We have a full-time opening for an *Adult Services Manager who will be responsible for managing the adult services staff of 2.5 FTE as well as grant-writing and adult events. * 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. Cromaine-Village (built in 1927 and expanded in 1980) is the main library and is being expanded to open summer 2017 with a grand public opening as part of the September 2017 90^th Anniversary Celebration.(Cromaine’s Crossroads Branch will close April 30, 2017.) Cromaine wins grants, including National Endowment for the Arts’ The Big Read—two in 2016! Grants for technology in Youth, local business sponsorships for a summer concert series, exhibits from the Smithsonian and the National Library of Medicine—we are a place to connect to culture, music, technology, makers, as well as reading in every format. We offer OverDrive (TLN’s Download Destination) plus Advantage, hoopla, One-Click Digital, Mango Languages, and Zinio library. As of November 2015, we are one of the TLN Shared Catalog libraries as well as a MeLCat participant, bringing materials from across the state to satisfy our community’s interests. $22.50 per hour to start, 40 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 $23.00 is planned. Paid benefits include vacation, sick and business time; health, dental, optical insurances for employee; life and disability insurances for employee, as well as a health savings account; immediately vested retirement including the library’s 10% contribution; and employee-paid AFLAC programs. Share your love for new technologies and public service with a community that loves its library and its library staff even more.
