If you don't want empty templates, only apply templates to the nodes
that you do want to process (as demonstrated in earlier replies0 for
example it appears that you only want to process the library directly
and just use the stock as a lookup, so

<xsl:template match="demo">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="library"/>

if you don't apply templates to stock, then you don't need templates
that match it.

select="/demo/stock/@quantity[@key=$keyCurrentBook]"/>

whenever you have that, you can do

select="key('stock',$keyCurrentBook)"/>


except that you didn't mean
@quantity[@key
as attributes do not have attributes
you meant
quantity[@key

which means the same thing and can be orders of magnitude quicker as it
doewsn't haveto seach the document every time.

<xsl:key name="stock" match="quantity" use="@key"/>
