Centrally located in our campus being the life blood of the university’s academic life.  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.
