When you touch and hold the App in the App Library, do you get the option to "Add to Home Screen"? If that option does not come up, then it is already on one of your Home Screens. You should also have the option to Delete the app from the App Library.

What options come up when you touch and hold on the App after searching for it?

Note: When searching for the App, you do have to Touch and Hold on the Icon of the App for the options to come up. If you just Touch and Hold on the name, then no options will come up.
