There is no way to do that within Calibre - usually the best advice would be to use the OS's tools to protect the library directory. Since you can't do that, the best option I can think of is to put the library on a USB stick that you take with you. If the other users are messing with Calibre's settings, you could use Calibre Portable, which will run off the USB stick.
