describe Book do

    before :each do
      @book = Book.new "Title", "Author", :category
    end

    describe "#new" do
        it "returns a new book object"
            @book.should be_an_instance_of Book

    end

end

spec_helper.rb

require_relative '../library'
require_relative '../book'

require 'yaml'

The file name is wrong. You have book.spec.rb and it should be book_spec.rb.

Also:

• You don't have to require any spec file in your spec_helper. When you run $ rspec it will read all '*_spec' files on your spec/ folder.
• You should put that model test inside spec/models folder.

You can read more about the standard structure of a Rails test suite here: http://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/v/3-3/docs/directory-structure

And this is a great place to learn about good practices about Rspec. http://betterspecs.org/
