If not for the used book market, most would have disappeared for new readers by now. I've picked up quite a few used books via AbeBooks that were unavailable to me any other way.
It's just a problem of storage, I can most probably assure you that any librarian worth their salt would tell you that if they had the space they would store all books...

WE HAVE THE SPACE.
