Morphology
bachelor + of + arts + in + library + science
The meaning is directly compositional: 'bachelor' denotes an undergraduate degree, 'of Arts' specifies the degree type, and 'in library science' names the field of study, so a learner who knows these words can infer it is an undergraduate degree in library science. This naming pattern is a standard, cross-linguistically familiar academic construction, so the phrase is immediately understandable to B1 learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
Bachelor of Arts in Library Science comes from old university naming: Bachelor meant a first degree, Arts meant general studies, and Library Science is learning how to organise and manage books and information. So, the full name means 'a first university degree for people who study how to work in libraries'.
