Die Öffnungszeiten der Universitätsbibliothek sind online zu finden.
The opening hours of the university library can be found online.
In everyday university life, the abbreviation 'UB' (pronounced: U-Be) or the short form 'Unibib' is almost always used. These forms are very common in spoken language.

With this place, the preposition 'in' is used. To express movement, you use the accusative ('in die Universitätsbibliothek gehen' — to go into/to the university library). To describe a location, you use the dative ('in der Universitätsbibliothek sein' — to be in the university library).
