Vladimir has very efficiently added it to the wiki already!
Incidentally, there's an extensive kicad library repository to be found at:
http://library.oshec.org/
as well as:
http://www.kicadlib.org/
There are also default kicad libraries which go along with the kicad
distribution:
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/tree/master/library
Cheers,
Erich.
