With "library", do you mean something more advanced than just an Elisp (.el) file which is usually what is meant? Such are loaded with `load' - either `load-file' (input the library file) or `load-library' (ditto name). With `load-library' you will get the .elc compiled version rather than the .el source if both are available. -- underground experts united
