Both the Science Access Keycard and Library are located in the Beta Quadrant accessible via the Central Hub.
However, the power to Beta must be restored before you can enter. To do so, travel to the Alpha Quadrant from the Central Hub.
From the Alpha doorway, go through the first door to the right. There are four levers on a central console in this room. Flip the lever pointing down upwards to match the other three. You'll know it's correct if it lights up green like the others.
