Depends on whether books can be only in one 'library' or can be in both.
If only one, then I would create an enumeration-type custom column containing the 'library' the book is to be put in. If both, then either a column containing 'lib1', lib2', 'both', or two columns that select the library.
You also need to decide whether the column contains content descriptions that are selected by the saved searches, or whether (as above) the column directly indicates which library.
I tend toward content-driven tags, then use saved searches to control what I see. For example, I have a column where I keep my reading queue. One value indicates that I want the book on my reader. Other values are priorities. I have another similar column for my wife, who has her own reader. Any given book could be in zero, one, or both of these lists.
In the end, it will come down to how you want to organize and see your data.
