If it wasn't read as part of the community practice (as, for example the Hebrew Scriptures were, the gospels were and the letters were) then it would not be up for consideration for the canon. That doesn't mean they didn't value other sources (they clearly did; we have many respected writings of the Church Fathers), but the canon was something different. We just need to be careful to distinguish the canon from all early writings; just because something wasn't canonised didn't mean it was considered worthless.
