I don’t really think the OP is asking anything about sharing copyright protected books but looking for a way to access her library from outside her home network.
Maude, no offence intended but it is clear you have little background regarding networking, servers etc (nothing wrong with that). What you want to do is very possible but not trivial, especially without more experience. As theducks noted, whatever computer or platform you are running your calibre server on must be up and running to provide the functions needed. This could mean keeping your computer on and awake or migrating to different platform to host the server. More complicated is providing access to this from outside your own network as this is difficult to do while keeping your network safe.
All doable but I suspect you would need a lot of help to do it properly (and not something you could expect to get from a forum. I, as an example, run Calibre on a raspberry pi (small standalone Linux computer) and remote access through the use of networking software virtual LAN (NordVpn meshnet). Works great but not trivial to set up without some solid background in various topics.
