How do I make classes and functions that I've written available to
other programs and libraries in common lisp?

If I created some classes and functions and put them
in a file called new.lisp, and if I had a program called
myprog.lisp which needed to use functions and classes
from new.lisp, then I could put the following line at the
top of myprog.lisp:

(load "new.lisp")

For an introduction to Common Lisp, try this book:

Loading files is discussed in chapter 2.

I was trying to call file A as a package of symbols.

Assuming you mean other Common Lisp programs, you just load in the
compiled (or even source) files.  Then they are available.
