It depends. If the libraries contains GUI elements (which requires an 
installation in lazaurus), I put them under

   lazarus/3rdparty/$PACKAGENAME

Non-visual units like synapse, I put under a /libs directory in the 
specific project. So every project could have an other version of the 
library.

project1/libs/synapse <- contains version 39 of synapse
project1/libs/tidypas <- last version of tidy pascal wrapper

project2/libs/synapse <- contains version 40 of synapse

In this case, I also have the libs in my subversion repository.
