I have 7000 books and with books properly tagged, saved searches and restricted views I'm nowhere near thinking I need to split things up. Splitting the library up would actually hinder library management and make it harder to navigate or find what I'm looking for.

What do you wish to accomplish by splitting into multiple libraries?

It might be easier to create "saved searches" and use the "restrict to" feature to deal with parts of your library as if they were a library unto themselves. This doesn't require multiple libraries.

If you truly feel the need just use the drop down arrow next to the library icon and create a new library or 2 or 3, then copy whatever you want to into the 2nd, 3rd or 4th libraries.

Good Luck.
