I have multiple Calibre libraries (about seven) on my Mac Mini. I have copied all of the library folders to an external drive. Each folder has its own metadata.db along with all of the books contained in that particular library.

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to recreate the libraries in Calibre on the RPi. Basically, I want to be able to recreate the libraries with the same names they had on my Mac Mini and then just point each library at the appropriate folder. I can do this with one library, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get it to work for all the rest.

Advice greatly appreciated!
