The calibre that keeps loading for me now has all books together and when I set up a virtual library, the books stay in all books while showing up in individual VLibraries. I want them to "disappear" from the all books library and only show up when I open a specific library - non-fiction, or fiction, or whatever label I have given them. Using Vista, I know that I can't use a couple of the newer versions of Calibre. I love the program, it is just this glitch that is making me crazy. Could I accomplish my goals with some python programming? Not afraid to learn new things

And you just
had to toss Vista into the pot
AFAIK anything you could do IN an older version, you should still be able to do.
The issues are the OS and Hardware (no SSE2) block the newer versions from running.
Jons suggestion for separate libraries is still possible.
On the Library Icon: Create Switch: New (with Use existing structure): (new Location for Empty Library)
Then you move between by using:
Then switch to the Source of books. Then Select Books: Right click Copy To Library <destination Library> delete after...
repeat for as many books or Libraries
Question: Other than Hardware Limits, is there a reason you must stay with Windows Vista ? Special programs? Special Hardware?
Linux Mint will run (faster/better) on just about any modern Intel or AMD (SSE2 capable CPU) motherboard that would support Vista
