Well, some of our shelves are lined and some not. We do use contact shelf paper; my experience is that, rather than bonding to the shelf and requiring dynamite to remove, it will eventually peel itself off whether you are ready for that to happen or not. Possibly high mid-continental humidity is to blame; I don't know.
I usually, if I happen to have a burst of energy and want to line a shelf, cut the paper a couple of inches too long and fold the extra over the shelf edge and onto the underside of the shelf. Otherwise the edge of the contact paper peels off even sooner, and since it's not yet devoid of sticky stuff, catches on plates and cans and is a nuisance.
