After closing calibre, I switched to library1 using the .bat file then used 'Library Maintenance > Check Library'. It showed that there were some extra titles and authors (which were library2's books).
I haven't tried 'Copy to library' (I'm a scaredy-cat), so I don't know if it works or not.
Make copies of your library folders before trying anything so you can restore them if something should go horribly wrong. I'm a coward myself so I backup the heck out of everything before I start experimenting; it's saved my bacon more than once.
