A.K. Smiley Public Library

Serving the City of Redlands, California since 1894

Established in 1894, A.K. Smiley Public Library has served generations of patrons in the City of Redlands and beyond. The only “admission fee” is curiosity. Lifelong learning is at the center of activity in the beautiful, historic building and attractive grounds!

Redlands Community History Initiative

Welcome to the Redlands Community History Initiative!

These items will be added to the Special Collections and may be used for educational purposes, including exhibitions and publications.
