Ahhhhh. Those are patron requests. And sometimes, they do say “please, please, please!” 😊

And we do subtract things because there’s not enough room on the shelves to constantly add. I’ve sometimes explained this to business-types as inventory control. But this is based on stats and condition.

Yes, but it is part of collection development. Collection development involves both adding and removing items.
