Or just copy the library over to her computer each time you make a change. Make sure changes are only made from one machine.

I grabbed a Box account a few months ago when they were offering 50GB for free! Too good a deal to pass up.
I have a "Library" folder on Box with all my books, and keep it sorted by date, with new additions listed first. Whenever I add a book to calibre, I also send a copy to Box. As AnemicOak points out, a backup is wise "just in case ...".
My wife can easily check the "new releases" in our Box library and download anything of interest to her PC. I have set up Box to display 100 books per page, so no "searching" is necessary. Just open the "Library" folder and peruse what has been recently added.
The "cloud" process is extremely fast and simple.
