You mean "this library" not "Haskell libraries". Some libraries have real documentation (either on hackage or off) to go with the API reference.

The point is valid though. The lack of documentation/examples on most package pages made my learning experience a real hassle.

In many cases a few examples and type signatures are enough for the intermediate Haskell user. Virtually all packages for Haskell are free software though, so you can of course contribute documentation if you feel there ain't enough, because obviously if the current Haskell users don't need more docs they won't write it.
