@theducks: Yes, the only thing I changed was the name of the folder that contained my current library. However, after I changed the name of the folder all the books no longer appeared in calibre.

It isn't clear to me if this is the problem you are facing, and if so how to work around this problem in the short term. Probably the best approach is to ask calibre to "open an existing library at a new location" using the switch/create library (menu on the library toolbutton), since the library is probably still good.
I have tried both troubleshoots that you suggested. I moved the folder with my current library to a path shorter than 75 characters, but that still didn't work. When I choose to open an existing library at the new location, it worked but nothing appeared in my library afterward.

Also, I don't understand why it is saying that the path needs to be shorter than 75 characters. Since the path is already less than 75 characters without me even moving the folder
