I would gladly use a ready made library on one condition ... it includes useful documentation with examples. Before I released any of my libraries I always made sure to create documentation for the programmer to reference.
I used to use many libraries with QB4.5, the most often used one being the SVGAQB library by Zephyr Software. I even paid to update to the latest version somewhere around 2008 when I was working on Super Mega-Bug before I discovered QB64. (They were quite surprised to have someone update a library offered in the 90's in 2008, LOL) The first thing I always did when I decided to pay for a library and use it was to print out the documentation and 3 hole punch it into a binder and place on my shelf for reference.
I wish more QB64 programmers with specialized skills would create libraries. I've seen amazing things done by Qb64 programmers, especially in the 3D realm. A 3D library would be awesome. A higher math library also comes to mind. A 2D real world physics/graphics library (think Angry Birds)!
