I really like Caliibre and would love to understand this Template thing
Templates are used all over the place in calibre, making a general step-by-step guide rather difficult. You can start with calibre's template documentation: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/template_lang.html. Then ask for help here at mobileread, providing where you want to use a template (file templates, plugboard templates, custom column templates, etc). The thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118563 has many examples of various kinds of templates.

As regards what we are discussing in this thread, identifying separate (non-virtual) libraries in CC, you can avoid using templates altogether by adding the library name as a tag to all books in the library.

The best way to get help with templates (or anything else in calibre) is to ask a specific question about something you want to accomplish. It is best to talk about "what" you want to do in terms of outcomes (e.g., I want to back up my books, I want to track where I bought books, I want to use my genre column in CC, etc), making it easier for people to understand how to answer.
