<p>We do not use New stickers. All of the new books go onto the new
book section shelving. A date is stamped on the inside cover when
an item is processed. The staff flip through each book when they
are returned, and if the date is within the last six months, it is
shelved with the new books. If it is outside of that six months,
it is not shelved with the new books. Each month, the staff pulls
the books off of the new book shelf that are no longer new, and
they are shelved with the regular fiction or nonfiction. This
prevents us from having to peel off any stickers or label locks
and clean the spines. The patrons never needed the stickers
anyway because all of the new books are shelved together in the
new book section. If you purchase a replacement copy of a book
and just want it to go on the regular shelves, you can put an X
next to the date, which alerts staff to the fact that it should
not be shelved with the new books. Your staff may resist
initially (at least staff did at three different libraries when I
made the change away from new book stickers)...and then it just
works and they are happy to not have to peel the stickers off.</p>

I was wondering...how do you mark "new" books in your
collection? We've been using the Demco "new" labels (below) with
a label saver over the top, but the residue it leaves behind is
awful. We think maybe the warm temperatures are contributing to
our difficulty in getting the labels and label savers off 🙁</div>

I'm trying to brainstorm other options, so if your library has a
system that seems to work well, I'd love to hear about it! I
know some libraries put the pub date in their call number...</div>
