I think that Apollo's point, and Tom's as well, is that, due to the earthquake damage and the fact that modern Alexandria has built over much of the ancient one, we cannot be sure where the library was.
I suggest we look for maps of ancient Alexandria and see if we have more than one that specifies the location of the ancient library.

Here are two more links to Alexandria that I thought were useful:
