Put this function in a standard .ly file (some prefer to name these 
include files .ily) and include it.
You can run lilypond with the -dinclude option and specify includepaths 
where you can store your library.

How to use this depends on which editor you use for lilypond. 
Frescobaldi for example allows you to specify includepaths in its options.
