"Quarto" or "Q" on the spine label refers to books that may be shelves separately because of their size. You are able to borrow from these collections.  Please see Library staff for assistance in locating items on the shelf.

Note: Quarto comes from the Latin term for a quarter - meaning the size is quarter of a folio sized book.
