Adam - I don't have any "libraries" per-se, but my sites currently are 
built on rails and use geocoding to do some proximity querying.  I have 
some documentation at http://www.geocodeamerica.com/home/proximity that 
might be helpful (its talks about integrating proximity queries in with 
google maps, but does have some ruby code at the end).  Feel free to 
email me with any questions.
