You need to use a conditional and check if you are in admin area:
if(is_admin()){
wp_enqueue_script();//params needed.
wp_enqueue_style();//params needed
}
Check the documentation for more info:

I was hoping for an exact solution using my file paths included in the question. Still a little confused after looking over the wp docs.

I can do it for you and then explain how I did it.
I will send you a direct message with my contact information.

Try this:
if(is_admin()){
$src1 = get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url') . '/library/css/admin.css';
$src2 = get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url') . '/library/scripts/admin.js';
wp_enqueue_script( 'myThemeScript', $src2, '', '', true );
wp_enqueue_style( 'myThemeStyle', $src1, '', '', 'screen' );
}
It should work just fine. In case it doesn't, look at the source code generated by the browser and check the paths being generated.
That code should go on your functions.php file.

Thanks Buzu.
Actually the stylesheet_url needed to be template_url which seems to be working.
