Description

Python Version: Anaconda 3.6
PyArrow Version: 0.9.0 and 0.10.0
Installed by: conda

The function pa.get_library_dirs() points to the wrong directory

import pyarrow as pa
print(pa.get_library_dirs())

returns (Notice the extra lib in the middle of the 2nd string): 

['C:\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\pyarrow', 'C:\\Anaconda\\lib\\Library\\lib']

but it should be:

['C:\\Anaconda\\lib\\site-packages\\pyarrow', 'C:\\Anaconda\\Library\\lib']

Not sure if this is dependent on how `pyarrow` was installed on the system.
