I don't recommend this for most users, particularly new users. It makes it hard to search for books, it makes it hard to run the content server, recipe/news fetching needs more active management etc. Unless the user really needs different columns for the libraries, most new users will be better served with keeping a single library and learning to use tags, saved searches, restrictions, etc. to give the same results that multiple libraries give without any of the disadvantages.
I have no trouble keeping three different users on a single library. Although there are many differences in reading preferences, there are overlaps, particularly on news/recipes. With a single library, I never have to switch, and we all can access all of our books from anywhere in the world, whenever we want them.
