Olive Kettering Library

The Olive Kettering Library is named in memory of the wife of the late Antioch trustee, inventor, and engineer Charles F. Kettering, who developed the automobile self-starter and high-octane gasoline. The library is a member of OhioLINK, the Ohio Private Academic Libraries (OPAL) consortium, and the Library Council of the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE).

The library houses a collection of more than 325,000 volumes, including extensive files of bound periodicals, many of which date back to the nineteenth century. In addition, it offers more than 900 periodicals. A library of more than 4,000 phonograph records is also available for circulation, as well as videotape and CD and DVD collections. Antiochiana, the College archive, contains papers and publications significant to historians and researchers.
