A.K. Smiley Public Library

Miss Barbara is here to help Elementary school students with their homework assignments.  No appointment necessary.

A.K.Smiley Public Library is proud to announce a weekly medical series available this fall.  The courses will be held in the Assembly Room at A.K. Smiley Public Library located at 125 W. Vine Street, Redlands, CA.  Courses will start Wednesday, September 25 and end Wednesday, November 20. The course is free to the public.

There will be nine 90-minute sessions at 6:30 on Wednesday evenings. Each session will consist of two 30-minute presentations with a break between and plenty of time for questions and discussion. Each class will stand on its own -- missing a class will not impair your ability to understand the next one. 

Presentations will be informal and will include many stories about people, inventions,discoveries, controversies, mistakes, and triumphs.
