There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to move items between libraries of the same type. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

> Reasoning: As my Plex library grows I would like the ability to rearrange the contents via a wizard that is easy and keeps all of the custom settings that have accumulated in the database for these items (what’s been watched, custom posters, collections, sort titles, and items I had to manually match). Example: I originally created a library called ‘DVD Movies’ and put all of my DVD movie stuff in this one library, but now I would like to have an additional library called ’ DVD Animated/Cartoon…
