beautiful new addition has been completed, under budget, and we finally have
spaces for our staff to continue to create new and innovate traditional library
services and collections. 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. <b>We have a full-time Community Relations Manager
position </b>available to lead an all-new department called for in our new
strategic plan. Your responsibilities include <b>grant-writing and gift development, oversight of the Library’s print
and online communications,</b> including advertising, and contributing to and
administration of the library’s extensive event calendar. <b>You’ll work with a highly collaborative management team and your own
staff to produce creative, innovative, and exciting experiences that meet our
community’s desires and exceed their expectations. <span></span></b></span></p>

which you will be instrumental in creating.<span>
