Access 3rd person library

I would like to share my Calibre library with my father in another state. He also runs Calibre and uses it to sideload books to his device.

We both manage our books using Calibre in the usual way, but also, I have the content server working properly and viewable from the web.

Currently, he opens his browser, downloads the book from me, places it in a temp folder, then adds the book to his library.

Is there a way he can use his Calibre to directly access my library to get the book without the intermediate steps of using his browser and saving to a temp folder?

He is getting a bit older, and simpler is better.

Ideally, it would be nice for him to have a couple of buttons to show him his library, OR mine not both, then click an "add to my library" button.

Thanks. Mark.
