Narrative:
Enroute after returning from break; I found out that the quick reference handbooks were not in their normal location. We conducted a thorough search and did not find them. We wrote up the missing QRH's in the logbook. I will work harder in the future to manage distractions that caused me to miss this item. I became distracted by other preflight duties and cabin concerns. We conducted a thorough preflight of the documents and manuals in the cockpit but missed the QRH's. I will make sure in the future not to omit this item; and make sure it does not happen again. Jet librarians should remove manuals only after verifying the new manuals are on board.
