				where is the list of libraries kept?
			 
			
			I've got a pretty large collection of books and have organized them into multiple "libraries". I know about the metadata.db sqlite file in the individual libraries, but is there similar to track each library and the properties? |

			libraries have no properties other than their name. A list of recently used libraries in the GUI is kept in the calibre configuration folder.

			Yeah, with some help I found it... /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/calibre/gui.json There appear to be some other parms associated with the entries, but I'll sort those out later |

			The integer after the library name is the number of times it's been opened.
