where are libraries?

I am just starting with the Arduino and want to interface it to the TCS230-DB light sensor that outputs a fequency proportional to light intensity. I have found reference to the freqCounter library that looks like it would do the trick, but I can't find the library. It doesn't seem to be in the Arduino application that I downloaded and I can't find it in this forum. Where can I find this?

Thanks for any help

Libraries that have not become part of the standard arduino distribution are in various random places, wherever the author decided (or was able) to put them. The search box at arduino.cc is useful, as is google ("arduino" being a very good thing to include in searches to narrow hits down!)

Is this what you're looking for:

Yes, I think this is it. Thanks
