KVCR-Arts 1/05/25 - Nathan Gonzales and the Redlands Lincoln Shrine

Published Jan 25, 2025, 1:01 AM UTC

David Fleming explores The Lincoln Shrine, a very special part of the AK Smiley public library, though first, the many expansions and additions over the years. When – and why. With Dr Nathan Gonzales, currently the chair for the San Bernardino Community College District board of trustees, the governing body of KVCR.

On past programs we have observed more and more libraries across the US losing more and more funding over the years, many libraries have become more than QUOTE – a repository and access point for books and periodicals. On a previous KVC-Arts Historian and archivist Nathan Gonzales spoke to us about the earliest days of the library, which started off as reading rooms associated with the YMCA, and then the local A.K. Smiley public library itself, just a few years younger than the city of Redlands. Now we’ll hear about a very special part OF the AK Smiley Public Library – The Lincoln Shrine, though first, the many expansions and additions over the years. When – and why. Again, Nathan Gonzales.
