You can restict users to libraries, but not restrictions within a library.

It probably doesn't count for much, but I'm all for adding restrictions of some sort within libraries. Even it it was just a restriction line for writing a restriction statement it would improve the option a lot.
Having multiple users is great, it means I now don't have to change settings anytime a friend wants access. Having VL available inside is nice, but it doesn't restrict accessible content within a library, and that's what I'm looking for.
They were great in the old one, I could setup a library that my mother loved since it was entirely cookbooks, knitting and gardening manuals. (I have a column to give all books a classification to make virtual libraries easier). Or for my friend who reads the same fanfiction's I do and is too lazy to go out and download his own and tends to get on mine to download epubs. I actually had Virtual Libraries setup for different people for sharing and just changed access when they needed it.
I used to have multiple libraries, but since Virtual Libraries made things easier it's almost all been compiled into 2 huge libraries and a small couples ones (for cleanup/testing).
Being able to limit a others (friends or family) from seeing that I enjoy reading fanfiction, or another from seeing some of personal stuff (I have some of my personal writing notes, old fanfiction from when I wrote, stories *not* for others to read, etc)
After testing, I really do like the new setup, but I'll probably go back to the old system in hopes you make the change in the future. I really don't want to split my libraries again. I like them all in one place.
