I might be totally wrong here, but surely if you add a reference to
your service it's not a service per se.
If you have the service in project A, and you want to attach a
reference to said Service in Project B, although the class you are
attaching a reference to has service functionality it will not
be a service unless it is the specific application instance that is
running under the Service Control Manager.
It sounds like for what you are trying to do you require something
such as remoting, to connect to the service from another library or
application, and retrive information from it.
