My hunch (which is similar to what others have posted) is that she returned to Normal when she was returned to the EF (when Regina dispelled the original Curse). She was subsequently brought back when Snow cast the second curse, though I doubt that she is under the library (at least not at the moment, though it might make a good lair of TQOD when they move back).

In fact, it is possible that TQOD all fled storybrooke right after Zelena was identified as the WIcket Witch. None of them probably wanted anything to do with Zelena, and sought the first opportunity to slip out of town, not realizing that it was, in fact, a one-way trip. There may be other denizens of the EF that managed to get past the Monkey's and cross the town line. There's only been a few instances when a person from Storybrooke could've left it without reprecussions.

After Emma broke Regina's Curse, but before Rumple released magic, which was probably a short span of mere minutes.

The Darlings presumably left shortly before Pan's Curse, but I like to imagine they were unable to, were caught up in the Curses and taken to the EF with everyone else (because if Emma lost her memories of being in the EF with Mary Margaret as well as her memories of Neverland, Wendy probably forgot who the men with her were, if they didn't DIE because of Pan's magic no longer kept them alive)

After Zelena was defeated and before Elsa created the snow wall (which Ingrid later reinforced with her own magic, making Elsa unable to take it down and also Ingrid adding a spell to make the exit trip one-way, most likely to keep Rumple out)

So there's only been three times someone could've crossed the town line. Oddly enough, the ocean seems to be the only way for someone to actually leave Storybrooke without consequence (Greg & Tamara & Henry, the Nevengers, Ariel). That is, until Ingrid erected her own snow wall around the coast, presumably adding the barrier spell to the ocean as well.

Has anyone ever tried fleeing from or arriving in Storybrooke through air travel?
