a folder such as : boot drive/users/me/library does not turn up in a spotlight and neither will any contents of "library".

is there some preference i can change to make spotlight "see" everything?

I don't know how much you've already discovered about the User Library but:
  • Launch Finder and click Go ~> Go to Folder and type: /Library or ~/Library
  • Hold the Option key while clicking the Go menu item, which reveals your ~/Library folder in the menu.
  • Drag your ~/Library folder to the sidebar in a Finder window for easy access
As far as Spotlight goes this might help:
