A note field that pops up at check out and check in
We need a note field in the item record that pops up as a warning box at check out and check in for notes that staff and patron may need to act on before checking out and in. Notes such as "Patron needs to sign a hold harmless form." Or the price of this piece of the kit is $250.00. Or "Item must be returned to this library." Staff should be able to close the window once they have read it.

This would be SO helpful! There are a ton of things this would be useful for. I know blocking notes are supposed to fulfill this function, but I don't want my patron to not be able to borrow ebooks or renew their checked out items because we have an item of theirs in the lost and found, we need them to sign a form, etc. We end up putting that info in non-blocking notes instead and staff just don't look at it and the issue stays unresolved for months.
