A library is just a separate database on the device. It has nothing to do with separate users, however, there is no downside that I see to allowing a user to have different accounts associated with a particular library for users that need this. This would also be disabled by default for users that want to use the same account for every library. If you export settings or backup a library, this saved account information is not contained in any of the generated files as you wouldn't want another using logging in with your accounts.

It's unethical to offer a solution for storing passwords outside of a secure database. It's better to keep the path; if the user has access, fine; if not, it's denied. Once you've "encouraged" bad behavior like sharing a password, you become a bad partner, and what's more, you create problems you don't manage. There shouldn't be more than one user in a million asking to keep their dad's passwords... That's immature. The "drives" (all of them) have a sharing procedure, which can be revoked without providing a password. You can look for explanations, but it's not professional; it's meant to please, but it's risky.
