at the library.
the preposition in that sentence is [in]
The noun that follows the proposition 'in' is the object of the preposition. Example:You will find her in the library. The noun 'library' is the object of the preposition.
A number of prepositions can be used following "available" -- AT - The book is available at the store ON - The file is available on the internet. IN - Food is available in the cafeteria. FOR - A bilingual library will soon be available for foreign students. TO - The exhibit will be available to the public. BY - A new model will be available by September.

Some sentences do properly end with a preposition The learnèd fools set you up. Do not give in. This phony rule is nothing we must put up with. Latin sentences may not end with a preposition, but it is perfectly correct in English.There is nothing grammatically incorrect, at least in the English language, about ending a sentence with a preposition. Technically, this is referred to as "preposition stranding", and it occurs any time a preposition and its object are separated, not just at the end of a sentence (Note, the separation of the preposition and its object must be by more than an adjective or two to qualify as preposition stranding: "with a sunny disposition" is not preposition stranding. Also, preposition stranding usually involves reversing the usual order, i.e., placing the object somewhere before the preoposition.) But wherever in the sentence it occurs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with preposition stranding. What is wrong is to rearrange a sentence in a way that makes it cumbersome or less understandable, all in an effort to follow this false rule.One example sentence commonly (and deceitfully) used to show that preposition-stranding is incorrect is "Where is the library at?". This sentence is absolutely incorrect, but not because it ends with a preposition. It is incorrect because "at" is not needed. To see this, simply rearrange the sentence by putting "where" after "at", as in "The library is at where?" Doesn't make sense, does it? If you asked the question this way, you would omit "at", and so it is not necessary. However, if I instead asked "Which building is the library in?", that would be perfectly acceptable.By the way, though the first answerer is correct in his/her conclusion, I need to point out that neither of the first two sentences given as examples actually ends with a preposition. Though "up" and "in" can be used as prepositions, they are not prepositions the way they are used in those two sentences, but are instead adverbs. Also, in the third sentence, though "with" is a preposition, "up" is not. The way you can tell is that a preposition always has an object, somewhere in the sentence, even if it's not immediately after the preposition.Here are some better examples of grammatically-correct English sentences that end with prepositions:What are you talking about? ("about" is the preposition, "what" is the object)That's the girl I'm going out with. ("with" and "that")What are you looking at? ("at" and "what")Put this back where you got it from. ("from" and "where (you got it)")
"While" in this instance is probably best considered as a preposition, with its subject being the gerundive noun phrase "sitting in the library".
The first word in a prepositional phrase always has to be a preposition. The last word is always a noun. For example:after the gameunder the bridgeover rainbowin the library
After finishing their homework, the students went to the library to study for their upcoming exams.
A prepositional phrase is a word or several words that go with a preposition. A preposition is a word like: on, in, to, at, for, by, with, about. Some examples of prepositional phrases are: in the library, with my friend, to the store, through the tunnel.If you want to use a prepositional phrase in a sentence with a present tense verb, you can. For example, "I usually go to the library in the evening." In this sentence, the present tense verb is go, and there are two prepositional phrases: to the library and in the evening.

I think yes. Many writers have used of in the beginning of the sentence, but as an adverb 'of late'; e.g., "Of late, we did not meet often".
