I reckon you should just play about with the simple licrary examples given in the User Guide, get a "feel for them", then try to apply the libraries to your particular application.

Maybe since CodeIgniter can be used or abused and is not rigid.
 
I think the MVC way is to access the library methods from your controller and not to access the controller methods from your library:
 
Try this:

1. include the library into your controller
2. call the methods in your library
3. load "partial views" with your data
4. output the data to your view
