This is just a quick proof of concept let me know if need more to get you started. For our production use of this we had each library share a common interface for the classes we wanted to pull.

My Library

namespace Library
{
  public class MyVariables
    {
        public string TestProp { get => "Result"; }
    }
}

Calling Code

 Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("Path");
 var results = assembly.GetTypes();
 Type type = assembly.GetType("Library.MyVariables");
 dynamic instanceOfMyType = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
 Console.Write(instanceOfMyType.TestProp);
