Ok, you'll probably get more than one reply with various answers, but
here's the basic idea.
--Script saved as compiled script and named 'scriptLibrary'
on doSomethingCool(parameters)
display dialog "I'd do something cool with " & parameters & " now
if I knew how."
end doSomethingCool
--End script
--script that loads and uses a handler from 'scriptLibrary'
set libraryObject to load script alias
"OSX:Users:paulskin:Desktop:scriptLibrary"
tell libraryObject
doSomethingCool("ThisParameter")
end tell
--end script
--Most 'Libraries' have multiple handlers in them. This one has only one.

No biggie. There's been one or two osax implementations around for a
while

it's
limited to OS8/9.
Exactly so.
Plus some kindy fellow wrote an AS library-based version some time ago
that'll run on most anything:

Aha! and how does a learning scripter load or otherwise employ an AS
library? I've not used one before
Not sure how the library/osax methods compare for speed to the shell
script, but will hopefully find out sometime this week when I finally
succumb to the dreaded OS X disease...
Shortly after which you'll be seeing all sorts of previously trivial
little
things you took for granted in OS 9 as 'biggies'.
