Each of us can correct any book metadata, add cover images, add tags.
Do you have suggestions on how to handle file locking so that ?
Thank you very much.

Rewrite Calibre to be Multi-User while leaving it available for (novice) single user systems.
Calibre is Single User
at a time
The 'Content Server' allows multiple read access.
If you want Write access, you might consider making a dedicated 'Calibre PC' available for Remote Desktop sharing (with gobs of access security) that allows a single-at-a-time logon. (This PC needs some CPU/Memory 'chops' as it will be doing all the work.)
