Yes, the Library can be anywhere.
All you need to take care is that 2 Logged on users (fast user switching) DO NOT have/leave the library open.

The other idea is Use the Content server access for those that do not need to administer (just: browse and get). The Library belongs to a single user, but can be browsed by multiple users.
