This may be a clue; should the Preferences for Calibre control how all libraries appear? Or only affect whichever one is currently open?

Columns are Per Library and are store inside
There are 2 types of Preferences (the Preferences screen usually sets both):
Per Library for things that do not (default config) exist in a library.like Columns, column Arrangements and of course: column data
User Preference which are stored in the Calibre Config folder (
remember to back this up if you make many changes from defaults)
This is where many GUI and Editor Preferences are stored, including assigned Device templates. This is also where Plugins and other customizations are kept.
Edit: Almost Forgot
If you Create a new library, there is a Copy Structure tickbox that will copy those (per Library) special settings over to the new one
