you should pick something off the shelf, but if you go through with it, make it open source! then you can share the work, and receive the benefits of community bug reports and contributions. check out HP's Grommet library for a great example.

the biggest thing this incentivizes, is to really raise the quality or "production value" of the library. internal-only libraries often suffer from poor documentation, shoddy code, and blockages caused by slow progress and bugs. by releasing the project to the public, your engineers will know that their work will be representing the company.
