Strategic Plan 2024-2028
This strategic plan was adopted by the Library Trustees at the February 2024 board meeting.
The 2023-2024 audit is underway, and will be posted here when complete.
Annual Report 22-23
The Library completes a new annual report each fall after the annual audit is complete. Look for the 2023-2024 Annual Report in October or Novemeber 2024!
This annual report snapshot covers the period of July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023. Over the past year, Cromaine has continued to be a cornerstone of the Hartland community, offering a wide range of resources, programs, and services to enrich lives and foster learning. I am honored to lead a dedicated team of library professionals, and I am committed to honoring and building upon the Library's unique history in Hartland.
I look forward to working alongside our patrons, staff, and community partners to ensure that the Library remains a vibrant and indispensable resource for the Hartland area. Thank you for your continued support. I am excited about the bright future ahead for our Library.
