Now the question: Is there a way to make it so that library changes to #1 (i.e. book metadata or books added to a series saved to #2) automatically reflect in the #2 library? Or do I have manually re-save the books from #1 to #2?
I could not find the "copy to library" feature. The closest thing I found was a "save books to disk" feature. Per chance, is this what you were referring to?

@
American_Desi - I don't think it is possible to automate the propagation of changes to a book's metadata in one library to the same book in another library.
You could Move - Copy (delete after copy) - books from your main library to your cloud library, and when you no longer want them in the cloud move 'em back again. That way you'll only have one copy of the book and it's metadata to maintain.
If you have multiple libraries, then by default the Copy to Library function is available on the Book list context menus, but you can also add it to other toolbars and menu's; and remove it from the book list context if you so wish.
Copy to library and
Save to disk are two different functions.
When
Copy to library is used, the copy remain visible to calibre because it is in a calibre library. When
Save to disk is used the copy is beyond calibre's reach because it's
not in a calibre library. The other major difference is that
Copy to library will use calibre's structure and naming conventions for library folders and files, whereas
Save to disk gives the user control over those things via the use of templates.
