The post-it notes are requests and reserves for items that are not yet published or which are not yet on our computer system, particularly requests from students. Late last week we fished off one that had been on there since March or April 2008 (Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones, the third in the series) - they're not all there that long, but sometimes they are. Students ask for books, or ask to have their name added to the reserve list for books coming in, and this public place in which we keep this info is an ad for what we do, can do, and that we care. (It also handily substitutes for me remembering).

A bunch of the items on there at present are series sequels, with a leaning towards vampires. When the books come in, we transfer the post-it note to the book and add the reserves when the book is on the computer.
