I suggest converting your IDF library to epJSON format to allow it to be used from an OpenStudio measure.

1. On a windows machine, first add the path to your energyplus.exe installation to your system path (e.g. C:\EnergyPlusV9-1-0).
2. Open a terminal from the directory where the IDF library is.
3. energyplus -c my_awesome_idf_library.idf

Then, you'll be able to load the json file in an OpenStudio measure and retrieve the data from it using standard associative array (Ruby Hash) syntax.
