I solved it.
For those who may have run into the same problem:
The FAQ page advises that, in the event you try to import you library and when Calibre Library restarts (automatically) with a blank library, you should: "To remedy this, do a right-click on the calibre icon in the calibre toolbar and select Switch/create library. Click the little blue icon to select the new location of your calibre library and click OK. If you don’t know the new location search your computer for the file metadata.db."
However, this advice may not work (it didn't work for me) if it reads "Calibre Library" as 'not empty.' Instead, simply select the option to use the original folder as the library directory (to be clear, this 'old folder' is just the folder with all the imported files). This appears to have worked for me. I'm not sure if it will cause additional problems when I try to add to this library, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
