Thank you for becoming a member of Quatrefoil, an all-volunteer nonprofit library and community center and one of the largest and oldest LGBTQ+ libraries in the United States.

Lending & Lost Item Guidelines
- Lost cards may be replaced for a $5 fee.
- An individual with a Q Card may check out up to five books for four weeks, and up to five DVDs for two weeks. A donation of $2 is asked for each DVD borrowed.
- There is no charge for borrowing books.
- Borrowers should return materials by their due dates, so that they are available to others.
- Borrowers with overdue materials may receive a courtesy reminder by email or in the mail.
- A book drop on the north side of the building allows people to return books and DVDs at any time, even if the library is closed.
- Books and DVDs may be renewed in person, by email (info@qlibrary.org) or by phone during hours when the library is open.
- No overdue fines are charged, but we ask that you return overdue materials before checking out new ones.
- If an item is permanently lost, we ask you to pay a replacement fee, or to provide the library with a replacement copy.
- If an item is more than six months overdue, it will be declared lost, a replacement fee will be charged, and checkout privileges will be suspended until the item is replaced.
Libby Access:
- Digital materials via Libby are free.
- Audiobooks and e-books may be renewed in the Libby app only.
