Construction of the library, which opened October 10, 1992, was made possible by a donation by Alvin C. and Mary Bert Gutman〔Visco, Frank. "Whitemarsh Resident Reflects on Life of Service." Plymouth-Whitemarsh Patch. () Retrieved January 11, 2013.〕〔Downey, Sally A. "A. Gutman, 93, head of fabric firm." Philadelphia: The Philadelphia Inquirer, April 26, 2011.〕 in memory of their son, Paul J. Gutman, a 1970 graduate of the university. Paul J. Gutman died on September 25, 1990, in an airplane accident while on a business trip for Pressman-Gutman, the Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, textile converting company founded by his great-grandfather, Harry J. Pressman.〔"Paul Gutman dies in plane crash, treasurer of textile converter Pressman-Gutman Inc." Harrisonburg: The Daily News Record, September 27, 1990.
