Hi Gamil,

You can get the SharePoint library data using the list.asmx webservice, please refer to this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists(v=office.12)

After got the library data, you can loop to send them to your outlook:

Also, you needn't to programming connect Outlook to SharePoint. There is a built-in way connect Outlook to SharePoint:

If you want to synchronize your outlook calendar with SharePoint, you can do it without code : http://www.ehow.com/how_5818771_share-outlook-calendar-sharepoint.html

If you want to add an item on your SharePoint calendar programmatically, you have to create a new item on the calendar list (same code used on all sharepoint lists with specific calendar fields).

Try this sample code (http://quicklookfordotnet.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/programmatically-add-an-itemevent-to-a-sharepoint-2010-calendar/)  :

//Get  the Site under which you want to create Calendar.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(http://localhost))
{
using(SPWeb web = site.AllWebs[0])
{

//Give the Type of List you want to create,in Our case it’s nothing but Calendar.
SPList list = web.Lists["Calendar"];

//Adding event into list
 SPListItem newEvent = list.Items.Add();
newEvent["Location"] = “This is location”;
newEvent["Start Time"] = DateTime.Now;
newEvent["End Time"] = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
newEvent["Description"] = “Going for Meeting”;
newEvent["Title"] = “New Meeting”;
newEvent["fAllDayEvent"]  =  false;
newEvent["Category"] = “Meeting”;

//Create Event in the sharpoint.        
newEvent.Update();

}

}
