The '''Quartly Study Group''' The literates and librarians encourage the Higher-Learning sacred ground policy and the peaceful discussion of differences. The Quartly Librarians welcome the living and the dead into the Library, believing that even zombies with the [[brainrot|rot]] may have something to contribute.

|style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,Arial,Sans-Serif;color:#FFFFFF"|
Back in July of two-thousand-and-six, several literates from the [[Roftwood|Rotwood]] region decided that a zombie apocalypse was a terrible reason to allow library texts to go missing. With the goal of ''securing all of the Quartly's library books at any cost necessary'', a handful of scholars descended upon the uneducated and illiterate hordes of [[Suburb|Malton]]. Finding library books abused and torn by the unwashed masses cowering in the [[Mall_Locations|malls]], and also by the rotting hordes dining on flesh in the [[Street#Street|streets]], the desperate members of the [[Quartly Study Group]] decided upon desperate measures... they needed both living and undead Librarians to solve this problem.  In February of 2008 the QSG established [[Quartly Study Group in Monroeville|a branch in Monroeville]]<br>

|-
|style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,Arial,Sans-Serif;color:#FFFFFF"|
The Quartly Study Group is a multi-layered organization.  Each division has different responsibilities, and membership in any one is based on the individual's talents and gifts.

The divisions are:

* '''The Library Council:'''  These educated warriors are most often located at the [[Quartly Library|homestead]] and are the last line of defense against misconception and illiteracy.
* '''Literary Critics:''' The [[QSG|Librarians]] have noticed that in a war-torn world it is necessary to recover literature at any cost. These dedicated critics are well-trained and well-armed for the unfortunate necessity of violence and retribution.
* '''Librarians''' The glorious educated populace which makes up the [[QSG|Study Group]]. They may be living or undead, brainrotted humans or seasoned professionals, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N00b new to Malton] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet long-term residents]... but the Librarians are all pacifists and skilled orators.

======<span style="font-size:14pt;font-weight:bold;color:#CCFFCC;">Survival Protocols</span>======
|-
|style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,Arial,Sans-Serif;color:#FFFFFF"|
'''I.T.T.B.E.'''<br>
If Terrified Then Barricade Everything - When the library books are just plain lost, when your library card lamination has peeled allowing moisture to spoil the ink, or when a member of the Nauseating Legion won't let you keep your Reader's Digest condensed books, just repeat this simple phrase "Keep 'em off me, please God keep 'em off me."<br>

'''O.H.S.H.I.T.'''<br>
Overrun by Horde, Safe House Immediately Threatened - When you wake up with your Library torn asunder, all your fellow survivors are corpses on the floor, or your favorite copy of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit The Hobbit] is destroyed, it is understandable that you forget the proper training and panic.  In the heat of the moment, a specific explanation, like suburb danger levels, is time consuming and exposes you to dangerous, adult-oriented situations. Just call for support from fellow Librarians with an O.H.S.H.I.T. and one of the Literate should come to your aid. While waiting, it is advised that you begin the I.T.T.B.E. protocol. Someone will come for your library books eventually.<br>

'''F.R.I.A.R.'''<br>
Further Revives Immediately After Revivification - Sometimes the only way to make a difference is by sacrificing your literate self for the greater good. In hopes of recovering as many lost Tomes as possible, we of the [[QSG]] suggest carrying out as many revives as possible. Fulfilling the maximum number of revivifications will leave you asleep in a cemetery, but if one survivor returns her lost copy of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountainhead The Fountainhead], then your efforts will be repaid with interest.<hr>
