Where is my Library located?

I wish to download the beta update for Fallout 4 and need to right click on my library but nowhere
in Steam can I find the word LIBRARY.

In the client it is the 2nd item at the top of the page in large letters.

You won't find it on the webpage.

Thank you. I was on the webpage. New to Steam.

Tip, go to steam settings and under Interface there is a setting called "favorite window"
Select the library as your favorite window and that is where steam will go when you start steam. Useful if you usually plan on playing games rathers then finding new ones when starting steam.

You should make your own thread since missing games isn't the same as OP's problem.

For a list of games as a webpage, it seems like your profile is currently set (by default, probably) to hide your games list, but I think you yourself might be able to see it at this address: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198393041950/games/?tab=all

(This link would only work if you're logged into Steam on a browser. So if you're on an external browser you may need to log into Steam first.)

If you're looking for the Library feature of the Steam client, you should be able to get to it by clicking "LIBRARY" at the top of the Steam client. You can also change settings so that the Steam client opens to the Library automatically on launch.

If you're looking for the install location of the games in your Steam library, the most basic location is inside your overall Steam installation directory. On Windows, it defaults to something like C:\Program Files\Steam, but whatever the install directory is, if you go to it, you should be able to find it inside Steam\steamapps\common where you'll find a list of folders with game names (if you have games installed on that computer).
