A LabVIEW Library is usefull since you can keep VIs 'private' which means that a VI can only be used by other VIs in the library.

Second with a library it's possible to have VIs with the same filename in memory since the library name is part of the VI name.

Not really, you only have an extra file which manages your VIs

Right click in any place in a LabVIEW project and select 'create-> library' or you can convert an existing folder in your project into a library by right-clicking.
