Annual Audit

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.
