In cakephp3 , to add a new vendor library you can follow below steps :

1. Place library folder under your_project/vendor/
2. include library file using require_once(ROOT . DS . 'vendor' . DS . "my_library_folder" . DS . "my_library_base_class.php") ,this includes the library code file in our code.
3. Include class name in top of Controller like :

namespace App\Controller; use MyLibraryBaseClass; ,

this imports the library code file in our namespace to be used.

4. create object of loaded class as

   $my_obj= new MyLibraryBaseClass();
