I think he means something like:

/
    lib/
        library_name.rb
            # This is the file that consumers of this
            # library will require; it will create the
            # module and load the actual library.

            require './library_name/library_class'

            module LibraryName
                VERSION  = "..."
            end
        library_name/
            library_class.rb
                # The class that implements the library.

                module LibraryName
                    class LibraryClass
                    end
                end
            another_class.rb
                # A support class for the library.

                module LibraryName
                    class AnotherClass
                    end
                end
            submodule/
                yet_another_class.rb
                    # A support class in a submodule.

                    module LibraryName
                        module Submodule
                            class YetAnotherClass
                            end
                        end
                    end
