I think the OP means the Calibre program.

It's not a library system for a lending library! There is no tracking of loans or user database. There is no concept of loans, checkout or borrows.

It's for one user on Mac, Windows or Linux to organize and manage ebooks on an ereader, or less well, an app on a phone, though people have used it to catalogue other things.

It's primarily a single user catalogue (metadata in SQLight, so one user). The catalogue metadata can be edited. It stores an imported copy of an ebook in a separate local file structure (NAS, cloud, Shares are not supported). There is a LOCAL LAN web server for personal convenience instead of Send to Device via USB or Save to Disk (Devices that don't behave well). Also separate is a viewer and editor.

Since all the files are in sub folders of Calibre Library folder and the metadata & catalogue is in an SQLight file and single user any GUI password would be irrelevant.

The Web Server shouldn't be shared outside of a trusted LAN and AFIAK it has an option for a password.

This is NOT a library system, nor a document management system in the common sense of public libraries, video libraries or corporate document archives.
