History
Indian Bible College (otherwise known as Southwestern School of Missions) was founded in 1958, by Dr. Gordon H. Fraser. The library was named Gordon Fraser Library in dedication to the founder. The library collection consists primarily of donations made since inception by generous benefactors. The most noteworthy was Woodrow Kroll’s personal library consisting of 4,000+ volumes. A migration of the catalog from print to computer began in 2010 and was completed in 2011.
On April 27, 2018, the Lord provided enough funds to pay cash for what was previously known as the Salvation Army Thrift Store. This facility provided the space for the Student Center, Student Life offices, and the Learning Resource Center. Volunteer work groups and student workers completely remodeled the interior and exterior as funds were available.
The Learning Resource Center was dedicated on January 28, 2021.
