Given the circumstances, I'd say the problem is simply trying to index the PlayerGui for an object that hasn't loaded yet.

Try using the WaitForChild method on the PlayerGui to return then 'FontLibrary', like this:

local FontLibrary = script.Parent:WaitForChild("FontLibrary")

-- I also recommend doing the same thing for the "ExtendedTextLabel"
local ExtendedTextLabel = require(FontLibrary:WaitForChild("ExtendedTextLabel")
FontLibrary = require(FontLibrary)

Anything else that would cause an error would be from the code in the module itself. Remember to have a return value inside each module.

If you're still having trouble with it, let me know.

Edited. It might be a problem inside your ExtendedTextLabel module.
