This sounds like a place where you should really write a package. Then each 
of the notebooks can load the package with a 
Needs[packagefolder`packagename`] statement.

You can check the documentation on packages if you don't know how to write 
one. Unfortunately, the documentation is somewhat disjointed and incomplete.

The Presentations package comes with a sample 'toy' package that shows users 
the process for writing a package. It has a sample notebook that creates the 
package with quite a bit of commentary on how it works, how to name it, and 
where to put it.

If you wish, I can send you the package notebook that could serve as a guide 
for turning your own routines into a package. It is basically quite simple.
