What exactly is meant by Library Level

Section 13.10.2 of the LRM gives the following description:

  (22)
  The accessibility level of all library units is called the library level;
a library-level declaration or entity is one whose accessibility level is
the library level.

Does this mean unit specifications? Implementations? Either?
I'm obviously not a language lawyer, but am often able to figure things out
from the LRM.  this has been an exception.

My observation has been that when I try to take the address ('access) of a
function or procedure that is defined within my main procedure, I get a
message about the wrong library level.  But if I take the address of a
function or procedure defined inside a package spec or body, the compiler is
happy.

Please respond in layman terms (if possible).
