These are some of the major libraries that you can use:

• Gtk#, the Cross platform GUI API Unix, Windows, MacOS X,
  • this is an entire stack of libraries and includes widgets (with Gtk+), Accessibility and international text rendering (with PangoSharp).
• Mono.DataConvert - System.BitConverter implemented correctly, and well designed.
• Mono.Addins - Extensibility Framework, similar to MEF.
• Mono.Cairo - Cairo Graphics Binding.
• Mono.Cecil - ECMA CIL Image Manipulation.
• Xml.Relaxng - RelaxNG parsing and validation.
• Novell.Directory.Ldap - LDAP libraries.
• Daap.Sharp - An implementation of the DAAP protocol
  • (Music exchange protocol, you can consume or expose music sources)
• Mono.Upnp - Universal Plug and Play implementation in managed code.
• Mono.ZeroConf - Cross platform ZeroConf/Bonjour API for .NET apps.
• BitSharp - Bittorrent client/server library, now called MonoTorrent
• Mono.Nat - Network Address Translation.
• Mono.Rocks - Useful Extension methods/Functional features for C#, now superseded by Cadenza
• SmugMugSharp - Bindings to talk to SmugMug
• Crimson - Crypto libraries beyond what is available in .NET
• Mono.WebBrowser - Wrapper for Firefox or WebKit.
• WebkitSharp - Bindings to use WebKit from C#
• GtkSharpRibbon - The Ribbon, implemented in Gtk# (cross platform)
• IPodSharp - Library to communicate and manipulate iPods.
• TagLibSharp - Library to annotate multimedia files (tagging).
• Exiv2Sharp - EXIF reading/writing library.

Linux Specific:

• Mono.Posix/Mono.Unix.
• NDesk.DBus
• Mono.Fuse - User-space file systems.

I am sure I am missing a bunch of other libraries.

Most of these (and many more) are linked to via the Libraries page.

Maybe things like Cecil and Monovation and the interactive shell?
