So good news is that I found my books. But I don't understand what it's switching to/from.

My sense of urgency is over, but I'd still like to understand if anyone can explain.

I appreciate the assistance.
Somehow you have 2 Libraries (with the same name BUT different paths)

Use the Library icon menu to rename the smaller to something else (to avoid confusion).
Then, select all books:right-click Copy to Library: (you only have 1 choice): Delete after copy (optional, empties the selected)
