Nevertheless, resent leaving to work in a library (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shelve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in a library' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'nevertheless resent leaving to work' is the wordplay.
'leaving' suggests deleting specific letters.
'to work' is an anagram indicator.
'nevertheless' with 'resent' removed is 'vheles'.
'vheles' anagrammed gives 'SHELVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shelve that I've seen before include "Put aside for later consideration - in cupboard?" , "Put aside for the present, plan or book" , "Put on one side" , "Store" , "Put on the back burner" .)
