Describe the issue

As my implementation is configured, I have my collection separated into several libraries to make management easier. This includes separating my Fiction, Science Fiction, and Western Collections into Regular and non-dramatized. As a result, I can be displaying a series from a non-dramatized library, switch the library, and because the UUID of the series is different, I get no results.

As a short term solution, if I'm switching libraries, I should be retuned to the root level of the series. A longer-term solution is a best match for a similar title.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to a library and select "Series".
  2. Select a book series.
  3. Switch to a different library.

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: The series should be returned to the root level.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENS: No results.

I updated this to redirect to the root series page for the next release. This isn't going to be updated to redirect to a series of a similar name because this isn't how libraries are intended to be used. Libraries were made to be completely separate
