When paper or a notebook is loose-leaf, the pages are not sewn or glued in. Each sheet can be taken out or put back — usually through holes, into a ring binder. School and office people live on this: you add a handout, pull out last week's notes, move one page to another subject. "Loose-leaf paper" is the pack of hole-punched sheets sold for that.
