title: CODEIGNITER: Create library instance in Controller, access from view
body: <p>I have a custom CodeIgniter library class that I create an instance of in a controller. This controller calls a view, and I want to be able to access this instance of the library from the view. I do not want to 're-load' the library, because it would create a new instance.</p>
  
  <p>More specifically, I want to access the class variables in my view ($this->varname).</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?<br>
  Should I be doing this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
