Cromaine District Library Board President Resigns

Christina Maudner, the woman who has led the Cromaine District Libary Board since the fall of 2007 and served on the board since 2003, has stepped down, the library announced Wednesday.

Maudner, who moved out of the district and was no longer eligible to serve on the seven-member body that oversees the public library, which serves a district of about 25,000 people in eastern Livingston County and is based in Hartland.

"I will miss your company, your wisdom, and your keen-ness to pick up what others don't see," said Board Vice President Don Thompson during the May 19 meeting the resignation was received.

The seat is an elected position and the term expires in June 2012. The district follows the same lines of the Hartland School District and consists of six townships: Brighton, Deerfield, Genoa, Hartand, Oceola, and Tyrone.

The board, which wants to fill the seat at its July 28 meeting, is especially looking for residents who live outside of Hartland Township, according to a vacancy flier.

The biggest issue in recent months has been the maintaining library services while facing falling revenues as a result of falling property tax collections. So far, no major service reductions have been made to the upcoming year.

Preference is given to applications received by July 5, the news release said.  They can be downloaded from the library website (www.cromaine.org) or a copy can be picked up at either the or branches, the release said.
