try to find the folder with the latest version of the library
Inspect the folders. There should be some folders with authors names and metadata.db file. Inside folders with names of authors there should be folders with the book names and a number in a bracket. Inside those folders there should be individual files for the book, cover and file metadata.opf.
Create a new empty library and import the books from the directory where the old damaged library is.
