Thomas, you took the words right out of my mouth!
Haha, I've been trying to spend some extra time, creating and breaking down some libraries to try get a feel for em. But with as new as I am to code, it's just more confusing than anything.
And I'm wondering if it would be better to start with pre-exsisting library codes, or use the new sketch that actually works to start a new library. Regardless! I won't stop till I find an easier way to use my LCD! 
And with the sketch I'm using right now, I have no idea what so ever how to use input values and print them on the screen
