Libraries do purge from their shelves, and probably should as time progresses. It is interesting to me the figuring on what to purge, for obvious reasons. Likewise for what new material "should" be taken in to [re]fill the shelves. Similarly, I once purchased a ~50-year-old book about "future" rocket science from a used book store. The clerk actually asked for clarification, "You understand this book is 50 years old, right?" ... yes I do, please take my money. This makes me wonder where libraries dispose of their discarded stock if not some gigantic shredder or similar.
