I also keep books "hidden away." However, after I use them, I always put them in a special display area in my classroom library. Students are encouraged to read them again during self-selected reading. I go over the rules of these books at the beginning of the year. They are not to take them out of the room and they must return the book to the display area when SSR is over, even if they are not finished with them. I leave them in the display area until it seems they have lost interest in them. So for some, I leave them for months and others I only leave there a couple of days. Then they go back to my special "hiding place."
