yes, each form needs to open whatever it needs, itself.. the one black hole
with libraries is they can't call another method in themselves.. or if they
can, I don't know how

You need to open the library in the form if you want the form to use the
library.
If you also want other forms to see variables in the library. you need
to declare the variables global to the library (in the library's var
section) and you need to open the library "global to desktop". I think
this is the default. Then you can use forms to read and/or write
variables to the library and share those variables between forms. I
wrote an article many years ago titled "Sharing data between forms using
a Library".
You still need to open the library in each form, so the form has a
handle to the library.
