"Weeding" is not about  removing books that have not circulated.  It 
is about making sure the books on the shelves still belong there 
according to your collection development policy. The policy should 
state a process to decide what books should be selected for purchase 
and retention.  Any book that does not ft in should be removed or replaced.
