"When a library disappears, or a bookshop closes down, when a book is consigned to oblivion, those of us who know this place, its guardians, make sure that it gets here. In this place, books no longer remembered by anyone, books that are lost in time, live forever, waiting for the day when they will reach a new reader’s hands."

I don't think it implies that there are only forgotten books in the Cemetery. It's more like all of the books that were in a library or bookstore that close go there. And some of them turn out to also be forgotten in the sense that nobody even remembers they ever existed.

What I'm trying to say that the books themselves are left without owners and forgotten, those actual copies that were stored in the closed libraries/book shops, rather than books as titles, in a more general sense.

Thanks, Olga. I had imagined the Cemetery as, books that have been lost to memory. If no one living remembers a book any more, one copy will be there 'in the hope' of being re-discovered again some day.
