Having multiple calendar integrations is not currently supported. If your library has multiple calendars, you can select one to integrate with the app, or opt to link out to multiple calendars instead of using the built-in events calendar integration. Please refer to Edit a button to learn how to change the action of a button from the standard events screen to an external link.
