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!

The Heritage Room Turns 50!

A.K. Smiley Public Library’s Heritage Room celebrates its golden anniversary on March 17th! This milestone event will be celebrated with a presentation on the Smileys and a special exhibition.

Learn About the Smileys

Don’t miss Smiley Library Director Emeritus Larry Burgess and Head of Special Collections Nathan Gonzales’s presentation on the enduring contributions of Smiley Library’s benefactors Albert and Alfred Smileys. The program will take place in the library’s Assembly Room at 11am on March 17. If you can’t make it in person, join us online on Zoom.

Special Exhibition

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Division of Special Collections by visiting a new exhibition in the library’s Reference Wing, the original location of the Heritage Room. Only available March 17-19, the special exhibition will feature highlights of the library’s special collections.

Program subject to change. For more information, please call (909)798-7632 or email heritage@akspl.org.
