Additional details below:

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/event-calendar) 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
