You didn't specify what interface your script provides to allow other processes to access its functions. You're not even clear in which language your library uses. (bash or ksh?) Helping you use an unspecified interface is not really possible.

Update: Well, you could do 

$ cat lib
function greet() {
   echo 'Hello World!'
}

$ bash --rcfile lib -i -c greet
Hello World!

$ perl -e'system(bash => ( "--rcfile" => "lib", -i, -c => "greet" ))'
Hello World!
