@NickyNite444 - its very simple, you've probably been over thinking it.

close calibre
with file manager copy the library folder (I'll assume its called Calibre Library) to the thumb drive (give it a different name - e.g. MyLibrary)
start calibre
select Switch /Create library from library-icon dropdown menu
locate MyLibrary on the thumb drive
select the Use the previously existing library at the new location radio button
click OK - calibre will switch to MyLibrary - i.e. make it the current library
select Remove library->Calibre Library from library-icon dropdown menu. That will remove that library from calibre's configuration data, but it will not delete it from the Surface's 'disk drive', you'll need to do that with your file manager.

I'll also move this to the Library Management forum as it's not a reading device issue
