The quickest way is to simply have a folder called library/ in the same folder as your playbook. Inside this folder, place the python script for the Ansible Module. You should now have a corresponding task available to your playbook.
If you want to share your module across multiple projects, then you can add an entry to /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg pointing to a shared library location, eg:
library = /usr/share/ansible/library
