I emailed her an epub and she saved it but now can't locate it with readium. I'm at a loss for how to help her.

Check that your friend can find the file that she saved using the Chromebook's file manager and that it still has an ePub extension. Some email programs or browsers change the extension. Then:
Press the Search key, then start Readium by clicking on its icon in the app tray.
Click on the top right icon, which looks like a + next to a book (if you hover over this a pop-up says "Add a new ePub").
Click the first of the two buttons labelled "Choose Files", the one next to "From Local File". This will open the standard Chromebook file manager and you can navigate to pick an ePub file that you previously downloaded either to the local drive on the Chromebook or to your online Google Drive folders.
The ePub will load into Readium, appearing on the bookshelf, and then open at the first page.
