The answer is:

Are the notebook and dictionaries still on the bottom shelf where I usually leave them?

Subject-verb agreement involves the correspondence between a singular subject and a singular verb, and a plural subject and a plural verb.

In the correct interrogative sentence, the verb to be must be used in the plural form are because the subject refers to two objects: one singular, the notebook, and one plural, dictionaries.

Similarly, the subject I must agree with the first-person form of the verb leave.
