Ah, now we’re approaching the “existence” verb “to be.” If I say I am [present] at the library, I am stating that I am existing at the library.

English is the only Indo-European language, AFAIK, which allows that construct. The convoluted grammars of Euskara and Suomi may have some specific case denoting both “towards” and “inside.”
