If you mean the language-defined libraries, such as the standard 
container packages, those are of course documented in the Ada Reference 
Manual, which can be found at http://www.ada-auth.org/arm.html.

The RM description is rather condensed and the number of examples is 
small, but I have found them sufficient.

For more tutorial documentation and more examples one must turn to books 
or other learning materials (http://www.adaic.org/learn/materials/).
