Since the addition of App projects in **Swift Playgrounds 4** it’s been easy to use libraries in Swift packages hosted online in your Apps, but it hasn’t been easy or clear how to _create_ libraries for reuse using **Swift Playgrounds**. My Mac recently fell victim to a power surge, so my iPad is currently my only Swift development option and I found myself wanting to reuse code on multiple projects without having to update said code multiple times when I made improvements. I set about finding a way to do that.

I found the simplest way to accomplish the feat and thought that others would also like to know how. I’ve posted a repository on GitHub that is an example and its README.md file expounds on the process.

I realize this audience is likely more advanced than the demographic for **Swift Playgrounds** , but if it helps anyone I’m happy to have posted it.
