The Academic Library of Piedmont International University.
The current facility of the George M. Manuel Library was built in 1970. It is named for a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ who began his affiliation with the school as a student and later worked as staff. While on staff, Mr. George M. Manuel served in many capacities, Registrar, Professor, Coach, and eventually the first full-time Librarian. Mr. Manuel was called home to glory at a young age, but not before making a great impact for the cause of Christ at Piedmont, which was continued on after his passing by his wife, Doris. We are privileged to memorialize his life, ministry, and testimony to the glory of the Lord here at the Library.
With Piedmont International University’s merger with Spurgeon Baptist Bible College in 2004, Atlantic Baptist Bible College in 2008, and Tennessee Temple University in 2015, certain holdings of the Oluf and Lois Jensen Library, E. Wayne Thompson Library, and Cierpke Memorial Library were incorporated.
In keeping with the institutional mission to prepare students for a variety of Christian ministries, the George M. Manuel Library provides bibliographical, physical, digital, and intellectual access to recorded knowledge and information consistent with the present and anticipated programs, research responsibilities, and spiritual and social concerns of Piedmont International University.
