Text summarization is a big problem, unlikely to be solved by calling on an established library.
Although it's not entirely clear what you are hoping to do, the links above are for document searching, document classification, or data mining.
But if you mean something like a news brief or a plot summary, check out the Document Understanding Conferences, http://duc.nist.gov/
