MODERATORS
It sounds more like they're removing books well before they need to in the name of them being old, but not replacing them.
15 years is not that long for a book, although in a school library that might be different.
In a school library there shoukd be a mix of older and newer books so that students are exposed to a wide variety of content, writing styles, etc.
In this context, “older” refers to the age of the physical book, not the date it was first published.
No, in this context it is not the physical age of the books themselves as the whole thing is about promoting being inclusive by assuming any book older than 15 years is less inclusive.
The subtitle of the article is "Books published in 2008 or earlier removed from school library amid confusion around new equity-based process".
