.. module:: calibre.db.cache
:synopsis: The API accessing and manipulating a calibre library.
This API is thread safe (it uses a multiple reader, single writer locking scheme). You can access this API like this:
from calibre.library import db
db = db('Path to calibre library folder').new_api
If you are in a calibre plugin that is part of the main calibre GUI, you get access to it like this instead:
db = self.gui.current_db.new_api
