Multiple Shared Libraries

Good day everyone, my current Calibre set up is running on a headless Ubuntu machine and my devices connect to the opds over the lan to get books. When I need to add a book to the library, I shut down the server, load up the client on my Windows machine, and then add the book there (which has issues due to the network aspect).

Now I have essentially three libraries of books: eBooks, Comics, Magazines.

I'm currently using Mylar and ComicRack for comics, and I'm not using anything for magazines.

I'm wondering if it's possible in my setup to share multiple libraries on the network, and if so, is it a good idea to have them separated like that?

I probably wouldn't add comics due to the way Calibre deals with folder structures (it'd break Mylar) but magazines would be nice.

Any tips/pointers/tricks would be appreciated.

PS: I'd also love an easier way to add books/update metadata, Calibre's single user DB is a frustrating constraint.
