"The Library Quarterly" is an academic journal published quarterly by the University of Chicago on subjects in library science, including historical, sociological, statistical, bibliographical, managerial, psychological, and educational aspects of the field. It is generally considered to be the most theoretical of the journals in the field of librarianship, and tends to publish articles by professional academics rather than by practicing librarians, but graduate students are welcome to submit their work. It was founded in January 1931, the year that Lee Pierce Butler joined the Graduate Library School at the University of Chicago, which was where library science as the academic study of the relationship between books and users was originally conceived. Thus, its publication history parallels the existence of library science as a field of academic research. "The Library Quarterly" is intended for an audience of librarians, educators, administrators, and others interested in the history and collection of books. Employing double-blind refereeing, its acceptance rate is about 30%.

At present, the "Library Quarterly" is edited by John Carlo Bertot and Wayne Wiegand. Its ISSN is 0024-2519.
