2. Or would user 1 have to tell the other users that a new book was in the library and they would have to import it the next time they start Calibre?
many thanks in advance

Calibre is Single access.
If you ever have 2 users attached (at the same time) to the same library, bad things can happen.
Consider running the content server on a PC that is always available. The other users can then use a standard browser to get books without risking harm. The PC owner gets to do the work of adding the new books
