Smiley Heritage Tours

Preserving Redlands’ Treasures

Each year, Smiley Heritage Tours offers bus tours to fourth grade students. We visit key historical sites in Redlands and are proud to report that following our tours, the fourth graders can speak with some authority about the significance of Redlands’ landmarks, its founders, the navel orange, and cut-stone curbs. They are also able to better understand the role the contributions from so many have played in making Redlands a special place.

Fees

Fees are added to accounts when a patron loses or damages a library item. If materials are kept overdue more than 60 days or fees total more than $10 then all borrowing and computer privileges are suspended until fees over $9.99 are paid or the library is reimbursed for lost or damaged items.
