Both of the statements you provided are complete sentences.
1. "The librarian reserved some books for Rosie." - This is a complete sentence as it has a subject ("The librarian") and a verb ("reserved").
2. "If she doesn't pick them up soon, he will put them back on the shelf." - This is also a complete sentence. While it begins with a subordinate clause ("If she doesn't pick them up soon"), the second part ("he will put them back on the shelf") is an independent clause, making the entire structure a complete sentence.
Therefore, the answer is **Complete Sentences**.
