If you mean pre-defined libraries pre-built into the Ada library I would 
try:
   $ ACS DIRECTORY *

Outside the ACS I would also have a poke around SYS$LIBRARY:

  $ DIRECTORY SYS$LIBRARY:*.ADA, SYS$LIBRARY:*ADA*

You may find an Ada directory (ADALIB)!

Quite often for the VAX you may be looking for a suitable STARLET library!

Looking in the SYS$HELP and SYS$EXAMPLES directories may also turn up useful 
information.
  $ DIRECTORY SYS$HELP:*ADA*
  $ DIRECTORY SYS$EXAMPLES:*ADA*

You could also poke around in the logical name tables

  $ SHOW LOGICAL ADA$*

(or SHOW LOGICAL *ADA* if you are feeling inquisitive).
