If you are using Linux, you can use symlinks. That's how I handle my kid's library. I created a separate folder to point her library to then filled that folder with symlinks with curated shows appropriate for her age.

Didn't even think of doing that. Cool. I have another question and it might just me being new to jellyfin. It looks like libraries cant have the same name even if the underlying is different. What I would like to do is each user have a "movie" library which contain all the common movies I want all users to have but then have the user spasific ones in there as well. It looks like I can only do this by having a library called "movies" that just has the common movies and then make another library for each user like "movies user1" etc. Is this correct or is there a better way of doing this?

I've never tried to make multiple libraries with the same name (don't have access to my JF to test, atm), but it makes sense that you can't have multiple libraries with the same name. Even if some are only accessible by a particular user.
I would say what you are describing is the expected behavior and you would need to name each "movies" library uniquely.
