You will be asked to choose a new library location.

When I click "OK" and choose my Documents folder then I get:
"The library database at C:\Users\Bryan\Documents appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try to and rebuild it automatically?"

When I click "Yes" I get:

I would recommend moving your calibre library outside of your Documents folder. Windows attempts to protect that folder so it would be easier to disconnect the library (the Remove library option) from calibre, move it to a new directory (call it calibre ) in your C:\Users\Bryan directory so C:\Users\Bryan\calibre\Calibre Library and then reconnect the library to calibre (under the Library icon, Switch/create library, browse to the new library location and make sure the radio button for Use the previously existing library at the new location is selected.

After that, you can do the check and restore if needed on the database.
