Imagine a library like a giant toy box. Some toys are used all the time, so they stay in the box. Others sit there for years and never get picked up, eventually, someone decides to take them out to make space for new toys. That’s kind of how libraries work with books. They look at how many times a book is borrowed or read before deciding whether to keep it or send it away.
Examples
- The most popular book in the library gets checked out every day and stays on the shelf forever.
