 *Learn – Discover – Connect  as Community Relations Manager, a NEW
Opportunity!*



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
full-time Community Relations Manager position *available to lead a
3-person department with several projects in the strategic plan. Your
responsibilities include *grant-writing and gift development, oversight of
the Library’s print and online communications,* including advertising, and
contributing to and administration of the library’s extensive event
calendar. *You’ll work with a highly collaborative management team and your
own staff to produce creative, innovative and exciting promotions and gift-
and grant- based series programs that meet our community’s desires and
exceed their expectations. *

            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 in 2017). We
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. *To succeed in this position you must
have a passion for this community—a small town kind of place with a
long-standing culture of connection and commitment to caring. *

            Cromaine wins grants, including several National Endowment for
the Arts’ The Big Read. Grants for technology in Youth, local business
sponsorships for the 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) which you will be instrumental in creating.   We are an
Advantage, hoopla, and RB Digital magazine and audiobook library. We also
offer Kanopy and Universal Class, services supporting our lifelong
learners. We welcome new technologies and ways to improve collections and
services, taking seriously every patron request for both popular materials
and those more esoteric. *We pay non-MLS managers from $19.00 to $20.50 per
hour to start; MLS managers start at $23.74 to $24.76*; 40 hours per week
with half-hour paid lunch; includes some evenings and weekends with Sundays
at time and one-half. MLA membership and national conference attendance (in
rotation) paid. Full-time positions at Cromaine have paid vacation, sick
and business time (available after completion of the 6-month introductory
period), plus holiday pay, paid birthday and paid bereavement leave. Health
insurance (an HSA plan) is provided for the employee and the employee may
purchase health insurance for dependents at the library’s rates. Dental
insurance, optical coverage, life insurance, short- and long-term
disability are all provided for the employee. You may purchase several
AFLAC plans at the library’s rate with a pre-tax deduction. *TIAA-CREF
defined contribution retirement is provided at 10% employer contribution
and immediately vested with no required employee match.*

            Lead a staff committed to public service for 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 plus two
references and proof of degree to “Community Relations”  at PO Box 308. Or
send by email (preferred to be “green”) to brentola at cromaine.org as soon as
possible—*position applications received prior to January 10, 2020
preferred; applications accepted until filled. *
