Assuming that these books are public domain...
1) You could just copy the Entire Library folder. She can place it into its own location.
Never use the OS copy to paste pooks from on Library Folder into another
Each user can have more than one Library. Just use the Create/Switch option on the Library icon the first time. the new library name will become available in the Quick switch list.

There are books you don't want to /can't share
2) Create a new Library (Create Switch). Then Switch back to the current library.
Select the books you want to share: Right click: Copy to Library. Then do #1 on that library

I explain my problem: I installed Calibre on her computer. How can I transfer my library on her ''Calibre'' library?
Do you know if there's some french people on the forum?
How can I know that?
Thank you!

One way would be:

I you have an external USB stick, just select all the books, right click and select Save to disk, and save them on the USB stick. Then open the USB stick on the other computer, select them all and drop them into the new Calibre library.
