<div style="font-family: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,helvetica,sans-serif;">Some of our new books circulate for 2 weeks and patrons appreciate knowing which one to start reading first. We also switched to Demco's NEW paper tape a couple years ago, and it stays on nicely and comes off cleanly. This has worked out so much better than the supposedly 'removable' NEW labels Demco sells. We can also write the date on the paper tape and a quick check of the spine let's us know when to pull it from the new shelf. Hope this helps!</div>

We have used the ‘new’ tape from demco that Mandi pictured for several years. It stays on very well and is easy to remove with no tape residue left.

<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>
