I think you need to understand a lot more about libraries and components. Libraries are useful for one developer trying to re-use code between projects on a single machine. If you are talking about deploying shared code in a way that it can be used by different people developing different projects on different machines then you need to look at the component mechanism.  There is really no programming difference between a library and a component (except when talking about gui controls).  The difference is how and where they are deployed.
Libraries are (or were,until the naming convention changed :-< ) simple and easy. Components offer more deployment options but require a bit more packaging effort.
