A '''quire''' is made from [[sheet]]s at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] by a dwarf with the [[bookbinding]] labor. 1 [[sheet]] is needed per quire. Related to [[Scroll]]s.

A quire can be bound into a [[book]] at a craftsdwarf's workshop by a dwarf with the bookbinding labor. 1 written-on quire, 1 [[thread]], and 1 [[book binding]] are required to make a book. However, since this transformation currently discards some of the quire's properties (text length, material value, etc.), you may wish to leave your scholars' works in quire form.{{bug|9409}}

Quires can be stocked in [[library|libraries]] by building [[box]]es/[[bag]]s to store them in. When quires are stocked as writing material in a library [[scholar]]s and [[scribe]]s will use them to write original works and copy existing works, respectively.  Otherwise, like scrolls and their components, quires are stored as tools in [[Finished goods]] stockpiles. Note that a quire with writing counts as non-artifact core quality with an artifact quality decoration; if you regularly create separate artifact and non-artifact stockpiles you may accidentally exclude written-on quires from both.

Dwarves and visitors will read written-on quires in the library.
