Assuming both "MyLib" and the plugin exist in the same project I could do this
 
(CMakeLists.txt for MyLib)
add_library ( MyLib SHARED ${SOURCE})
 
(CMakeLists.txt for plugin)
add_dependencies ( MyLib )
add_library ( plugin SHARED ${SOURCE} )
target_link_libraries ( plugin MyLib )
 
I don't see you needing to use find_library. That is intended to find a library external to the existing project. It should not be necessary to find a library internal to a project.
