The Java Tutorial.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

Read about JAR files.

All a "library of routines" is is a JAR file of classes.

Since database access in Java is a rich and extremely large area, and you apparently 
still lack information on how to build any kind of project in Java,  that is advisable.

There are pitfalls galore in writing just "a local library of database access routines". Most 
likely you'll wind up with an overblown and unmaintainable mess that people have to 
shoehorn into their logic with more effort than just using JPA or JDBC themselves.

I've done a lot of experimentation with different ways of coding database access in Java, 
and the flat-out worst was a comprehensive "local library of database access routines".

By far the easiest to code and maintain was a non-monolithic JPA approach.

But you really should know at least *something* about writing database access before 
engaging in the overweening presumption of building a "library" for others to use.
