If I understand what you are asking, there isn't an easy way to do it. Or at least not one I could describe and guarantee would work. But, as you are using calibre, you can do most of it.
The steps are:
- Install and configure the Kobo Utilities plugin in calibre.
- Make sure all the books on the SD card are in calibre.
- Connect the device and use the utilities plugin to store the status of the books on the card.
- Eject the device and remove the SD card.
- Connect the device and send the books that were on the SD card to the devices main memory.
- Eject the device and let it process the books.
- Connect the device and use the utilities plugin to restore the status of the books to the device.
That will get the books from the card to the main memory with the reading status. And assuming the books had the correct metadata in them, then the author information will also be there.
But, I'm not sure about all the request.

I'm not sure what you mean by "with directions", and the Kobo devices do not show number of pages, and unless you mean either being able to sort by author, or have a collection for each author, I don't know what "library membership (by author)" means. This is probably a language problem as I don't think English is your usual language. You will need to explain what you mean by these points.
