Olivet’s Benner Library

Introducing the 2025 Olivet Christmas Ornament. Manufactured by the creators of the Official White House Christmas Ornament, this year’s piece features Benner Library.

For half a century, Benner Library has stood as the intellectual heart of Olivet. Named for Dr. Hugh C. Benner—a 1919 graduate, the first president of Nazarene Theological Seminary and a General Superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene—this beloved campus landmark opened in 1975 as an 80,000-square-foot expansion to the former Memorial Library. With the addition came new possibilities: a computer center, archives department and space for future growth.

Order the ornament today with a new $50 donation. You will receive a $35 giving receipt and your donation will go to The Olivet Fund. Please call the Alumni Office with any questions, 815-939-5258.

The ornament student page seems to be down but if we can relaunch it so our students, faculty and staff can order that would be great.

Please allow 7-10 business days for your ornament to arrive. If you have any questions, please call the Alumni Office at 815-939-5258. This discount is intended for current Olivet students, faculty and staff only. All other purchases can be made at olivet.edu/ornament. Merry Christmas!
