Alternatively,

ls("package:ts")

will list all the objects in the package (I presume package and not 
library was meant: a library is a directory holding installed packages).

If you really want to know about the functions (and not all objects) in a 
package try

lsf.str("package:ts")

which gives the call sequences too.
