Is that by design?
Thanks.

Yes, this is by design and won't change. CC's library can be filled from any of the wireless device, content server, or cloud connection; where the local library is a type of cloud connection. Once a book is added to the library it can be used regardless of whether the connection is still there. Its metadata can be updated using the wireless device connection, and so on.
As for where the books end up after the copy, that is under the control of CC's Formats & Folders settings. I strongly recommend that you not use the original calibre library as the CC folder, because copying a new library will (probably) erase CC's books and because using the wireless device connection will probably scan the entire calibre library.
If you are using only the local library connection and you use some sync program to keep it up-to-date then I suggest you fetch any books you want to read, read them, then delete them from CC's library.
