# Blank pieces of paper are [[Muktzeh]]. If a loose-leaf binder has pages with content together with blank pages, and the pages of content have some importance and one sometimes reads them, then, the binder is not [[Muktzeh]] and one may turn the blank pages in order to reach the pages of content. However, if the pages of content aren’t of importance and one doesn’t read them, then the binder as a whole is [[Muktzeh]] and should be moved. <Ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 28:9 </ref>  
# Blank pieces of paper are [[Muktzeh]]. <ref> Magen Avraham 308:10, Sh"t Iggerot Moshe OC 5:21:8 </ref> If a loose-leaf binder has pages with content together with blank pages, and the pages of content have some importance and one sometimes reads them, then, the binder is not [[Muktzeh]] and one may turn the blank pages in order to reach the pages of content. However, if the pages of content aren’t of importance and one doesn’t read them, then the binder as a whole is [[Muktzeh]] and should be moved. <Ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 28:9. Sh"t Iggerot Moshe OC 5:21:8 writes that if the collection of blank pages is meant to be temporary, meaning the pages are removed fairly often, they should be removed before [[Shabbat]]. However, if they are meant to stay there with only occasional removal, then the binder is not [[muktzeh]] even with the blank pages. </ref>
