Organizing books by Reader? (Person, not e-reader)

Gah, I'm running out of time LOL.

Santa is bringing 6 Nooks to my house for Christmas. 4 are normal, 1 is 3G, and 1 is Color.

I have about 100 books I've converted with Calibre, and now I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to organize them to put on the Nooks.

For example:

Child 1, Child 2, Child 3

Book A, Book B, Book C

I want to put books A&C on Child 1's Nook. I want books B&C on Child 2's Nook, and I want all three books on Child 3's Nook.

I don't seem to get the option within Calibre to send the books to the Nooks, or I could perhaps tag each book with a name and then send to the appropriate Nook. I've been testing to make sure I'm doing it right by copying books from the Calibre library into the "My Documents" folder on the Nook. Unfortunately, it's hard to figure out which books go to which kid by author, since I have so many to go through.

Is there a way Calibre could do a master library and then sub-libraries, where I could go onto my hard drive and just copy the sub-library to that particular Nook? I realize that would give me multiple copies of some books on my hard drive, but that's fine with me.

Any help is much appreciated, I need to wrap the Nooks tomorrow to go under the tree, eek!
