Library

The Library at Madera Clubhouse is a borrowing library with over 4,000 books (fiction, large print, and specialty books), magazines, DVDs, audiobooks, jigsaw puzzles, and games. The goal of the Library Management Team is to provide a convenient, easy-to-use, up-to-date source of library materials for residents.

Most books are shelved alphabetically by the author, with hardcover books on open shelves. Paperback books, jigsaw puzzles, and some miscellaneous items are located behind the cabinet doors. Games are available in the Sage Room cabinets at the Canyon Club.

Materials do not need to be checked out. Take what you want and bring items back when convenient. Users are encouraged to return items promptly to one of the return book carts for daily shelving by our volunteers.

Donations are the prime source of everything in the Quail Creek Library. We accept books ten years and newer. Please place your donations in the donation box found in the hallway outside the entrance door. The library has limited shelf space, so please take your items that are older than ten years to local charities, like Friends of Green Valley Library, Goodwill, and White Elephant, or to used bookstores.

The library is open daily whenever the Madera Clubhouse is open. Please feel free to use the Library to access the Madera Clubhouse Wi-Fi; no password is required.

Over 30 volunteers maintain the Library by shelving returned items, alphabetizing the collections, and processing donations. The Library Management Team provides guidance and meets periodically to review and update procedures. Operating procedures and a “locations diagram” are contained in the Library Operations Manual on the bottom shelf of the return cart.
