I think the Rails Way would be to put them in the vendor directory or 
make them available as a gem. Should you choose to put them in the 
vendor directory, you will need to modify your load path in 
environment.rb to include the path to your lib. For example, if my lib 
was in:

   /vendor/mylib/lib

I would want to add that path to the load path in environment.rb:

   $LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'vendor/mylib/lib'))
