Documentation says there is a large parts library.
That is not so 'large' by default, users may expect different things depending their field of interest.
Typically a user custom defines or collects parts based on custom needs.
Any snippet of a drawing or complete example drawing can be set aside as a reusable part.
Anything that can be imported can be considered as a library item, e.g.: DXF, DWG, SVG, PDF, bitmaps ...

In a standard installation I count:
- 27 DXF items
- 5 Script items
- 5 SVG items

In the link provided by Husky there are example links to online sources.
And a link to qcad-add-ons
At the bottom of that page there are part libraries including over 6000 parts and about 1300 SVG icons.
