I have searched around and haven't been able to find an answer. Does XBMC do any auto updating libraries with newly added content, or do I have to restart XBMC or manually start the update? I hope that is not the case. I would love it if I could even schedule library updates. Any help would be appreciated.

there are ways to make it update for you, I know the iphone remote I use has shortcuts for it(and I presume so does the android remote)

you can
1. schedule an update each time you start XBMC suing the update on startup setting
2. Get an add-on (don't know what it is called) that will auto-update on a regular schedule <- this is probably the one that you are after
3. Use the context menu when viewing a library and select update library
4. Bind update library (either music or video) to a key on your remote. I dont have an update function on my android remote but have it bound to a key on my MCE remote
5. I understand that if you use sickbeard or couchpotato or similar that they can autoupdate the library for you when they add new content <- or this one

Plenty of info in the wiki and forums on how to get these things working.

Thanks. That helped me to search for the right info about auto updating the library.
