Current version (0.7) does not support multiple libraries. That space is reserved for device views.

Two workarounds, both using 0.7 features:

1) put everything in one library and use restrictions to view only the individual songbooks.

2) a)Add a songbook to the library.
b) Create a folder on your main disc somewhere that makes sense; this folder will end up holding the songbook.
c) Using 'connect to folder', mount that folder as a device. It will appear on the top bar.
d) send the files for the songbook to the folder device. They will get copied to that folder, along with some other information that helps calibre.
e) delete the files from the songbook from the main library.
f) repeat as needed.

At the end, you will have a folder for each songbook. To look at the songbook, you connect to its folder.

The major problem with solution 2 is that searching and metadata management is limited. Solution 1 gives you the full power of calibre's tagging and metadata management, at the expense of a larger library.

I prefer solution 1, but in some cases solution 2 is better.
