I do M-x load-library /some/file/name .
Then later I do another command that asks for a file name.
I find /some/file/name has not been added to the history list so I have
to type it all in again instead of being able to use the arrows, etc.
emacs-version "24.0.91.1"

If you provide an absolute path to the library, why not use load-file instead
of load-library?

load-library uses the default history list, `minibuffer-history'. It's
generally used to read Lisp symbols (package names), not file names.
The find-file command uses a different history list.
