Hi Friends,
I am producing projects that reuse the same assets (i.e. title with sound effects, graphic overlay, and screen crawl with editable text).
Presently, I open a previous library, copy these assets then switch to the new library and paste them into the new project. Clunky, at best
How may I easily make these assets available to new projects/libraries in Final Cut Pro?

If it’s something that is to used unchanged, then as Tom said you can export a video as ProRes 4444.
For that title that you made into a compound clip, I would create a specific library of reusable content, then copy from there anytime you need to use it.
I have a similar setup to what Lois suggests. My base library has all the reusable titles, music and graphics in each of my videos as well as empty events that are ready for new the content. I rename duplicate and rename the library for each new video.
By projects I take you mean separate libraries. The way to work when you need to collaborate, either with other users or other libraries, is not to use managed media, media stored inside the library, but to use external media. Assign an external location like a folder, to store your media and then use the consolidate function for the library to move the media into the external location. Now all libraries can access the same content from the same location.
Thank you, Tom.
I understand to apply what you suggested to static graphics. But the other elements I don't see how to store them separately:
Thanks for any additional assistance you can provide.
Thanks again to both of you for your suggestions and assistance.

That's a terrific idea, Larrie; thanks!
If possible it would be best to export them as high quality video files. ProRes 4444 would be best.
