On the LibreOffice menu, click 'Tools' -> 'Macros' -> 'Organize Macros' -> 'LibreOffice Basic...' ('The LibreOffice Basic Macros' dialog should open); click 'Organizer...' ('The LibreOffice Basic Macro Organizer' dialog should open); select the 'Libraries' tab; click 'Import...'; Select 'script.xlb'; choose options if necessary; click 'OK'.

How can we see the contents of the imported library?
