I believe the answer is:

shelved

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

'library books are displayed?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'put off seeing' is the wordplay.
'put off' becomes 'shelve' (synonyms).
'seeing' becomes 'd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'shelve'+'d'='SHELVED'

'how' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shelved that I've seen before include "Having been put aside for later consideration" , "Put on one side" .)
