They are pretty much all text with one or two pictures in only one or two of the files.

I'd like to make one epub ebook from these all of these files combined together. Is this a task that I can do using Calibre? Or must I make a new file and copy and paste the 37 files together into it?

Thank you for your help.

Master Documents and Subdocuments
Working with Master Documents and Subdocuments

Spoiler:
A master document lets you manage large documents, such as a book with many chapters. The master document can be seen as a container for individual LibreOffice Writer files. The individual files are called subdocuments.
To Create a Master Document
1. Do one of the following:
Choose File - New - Master Document.
Open an existing document and choose File - Send - Create Master Document.
2. If you are creating a new master document, the first entry in the Navigator should be a Text entry. Type an introduction or enter some text. This ensures that after having edited an existing style in the master document, you see the changed style when viewing the subdocuments.
3. In the Navigator for master documents (should open automatically, else press F5 to open), click and hold the Insert icon, and do one of the following:
To insert an existing file as a subdocument, choose File, locate the file that you want to include, and then click OK.
To create a new subdocument, choose New Document, type a name for the file, and then click Save.
To insert some text between subdocuments, choose Text. Then type the text. You cannot insert text next to an existing text entry in the Navigator.
4. Choose File - Save.
