The server has two Tcl directories (or "libraries"). One is "shared" which means all servers source its contents at start-up. The shared library location is not directly configurable. It is set to the subdirectory "modules/tcl" within [ns_info home], or:

   [ns_info home]/modules/tcl 

This can be retrieved from within a script using [ns_library shared].

Then, there is a per-server Tcl directory that's referred to as "private" which is configured using the config section "ns/server/${servername}/tcl" and the "library" parameter. If not specified in the config, it defaults to the server's module directory, in the "tcl" subdirectory, which is:

   [ns_info home]/servers/${servername}/modules/tcl
