I had read where you need to create a new library so Calibre can "find" it but when I create library it tells me "the folder is not empty please choose an empty folder." I created an empty folder, copied the files to the folder but when I pull it up in Calibre no books appear. Can someone tell me, or show me, the step by step instructions on how to do this. Thank you in advance.
If the other library is a 'Calibre Library'
Use Existing is the choice you want. The warning is to prevent creating a NEW Library in occupied space

Once the second Library is accessed: select Books: Right click: COPY TO LIBRARY: <the target library>
