Not sure what you are asking for exactly, but you first get the set of all book ids in the current virtual library. THen after that call

Code:

ans = set()
for book_id in book_ids:
   ans |= {x for x in db.new_api.field_ids_for('tags', book_id)}

and use get_id_map() to convert the ids from ans into names.
