AUP - John Lawrence Detwiler Memorial Library

AUP - John Lawrence Detwiler Memorial Library JLDM Library is the lifeblood of the university's academic life, centrally located in Adventist University of the Philippines, Brgy. Mrs. Natividad S. Mila H.

Puting Kahoy, Silang, Cavite. John Lawrence Memorial (JLDM) Library is formerly known as Philippine Union College Library. It was constructed as department in the early 1930's under Mrs. Blanche Palmer as librarian. A couple of classroom at the northern end of the administration building of the old Philippine Union College in Baesa campus that served the needs of the library during the pre-war yea

rs. Mallari took over the responsibility of librarian and continued organizing to the educational requirements and library standards. When the college moved to Silang in 1979, Mrs. Edith Tortal was appointed to set up library services for the initial students on this campus, while Mrs. Luz Fadri, the present librarian stayed in Baesa. The next year, 1980, the library is temporary placed in the lobby of the college auditorium/gymnasium with more than 24,000 volumes. Dr. Howard Detwiler whose big picture is displayed in front of the Periodical Section is the philanthropist who donated an amount for the construction of the whole library building. His son John Lawrence Detwiler studied and took medicine at the University of Santo Tomas. Right after of his graduation, he and some friends went scuba diving in Palawan where he met his untimely and tragic death. This is how AUP got its name – John Lawrence Detwiler Memorial Library. JLDM bought the Follet system which is based in U.S. On summer of April 2002, under the leadership of Mrs. Sales, the system was implemented. Today, John Lawrence Detwiler Memorial Library has the long-cherished dream having a separate structure where there will be adequate space and healthful quiet atmosphere to a helpful study.
