Libraries throw books away all the time - they get worn, aren't read often, need the space, etc. Nobody much cares when they do it as part of their usual business goings on.
Actually, worn copies are kept as long as possible after being digitised. Photo's of the pages and digitised pages, etc, are put on the Net.
I don't think that any proper library in the world would throw the books away before they've been copied and saved somewhere on a few servers and can be accessible on the Net from various sources and saved on a lot of various independent safe places. We're way past the 1930's Fascist Germany; where even all the German copies of Origins they could find were burned.
