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!

Celebrate Citrus at Library Days on May 4

A.K. Smiley Public Library will celebrate the citrus heritage that put the Inland Empire on the forefront of California’s citrus boom at the 8th annual Library Days on Saturday, May 4, 10am-2pm. “Celebrate Citrus” will include historical presentations, exhibitions, and films, as well as activities for the whole family and a citrus tasting station hosted by the California Citrus State Historic Park.

Made possible through a generous grant from Esri, Library Days explores a different theme each year and provides the community with an opportunity to explore the Library and learn something new about Redlands. As an added bonus, the first 400 participants in a Library Days program or activity will be treated to a free lunch from the In-N-Out truck courtesy of Smiley Library!
