Select any book, the details panel includes "Path". Mouse over the "click to open" and the path will popup. This will be to the ebook, but the entire library is along the same path.

I'm not sure I use the default location, but my library under Windows is at

C:\Users\Alan\Calibre Library

As theducks said, you need to copy the entire folder. It includes the metadata.db file and lots of folders for individual ebooks.
