Yes, I can imagine that a lot of people would be more likely to borrow newish looking books from less crowded shelves. (I realised as a child I was unusual in liking my parents' old editions of the classics, rather than ones with shiny new covers.)
Perhaps it's just a personal thing, then. I'd give books to a charity shop or fund-raising event, but not a library.
