Up until 3 or 4 minutes ago there was 1 question using the [software-library] tag and 1 using the [library] tag.
Then I did a question and that changed it to 2 to 1. So which tag should be used?

I suggest:
[Library-Programming], for things like Boost and OpenMP, whioh are used for programming
[Library-Books] be for things like Koha, Calibre, to do with managing physical or electronic libraries of texts
[Library] tag be black-listed, as it is too unclear on this site.
(and why we can't let Library-programming hog it)
So far there is one question that could have been tags this way. That makes it over 0.5% of all questions.
If this site had have existed 3 years ago when I needed to decide on library software for our organisations library, I would have asked here (Koha, has so many disadvantages).
A few month ago, my wife wanted to catalogue our extensive home library and saw some great iOS program for it, and was trying to find a similar one for windows phone.
I think there will be enough [Library-Books] question.
If we allow Programming Libraries, which it is true there will be many many more of to use the [Library] Tag. Then they will swamp the eventual dozen or so questions that should be under [Library-Book], and become very hard to find.
The other option is a good tag wiki.
I don't actually feeel super strongly about this, but it might be coming off as if do
I add this answer such that the votecount makes it clear.
[software-library] should be used
I personally think [library] is the tag that should be used not [software-library] because:
How about: [*-library]
, e.g.
Apart from the corner case of porting code, I think you're always looking for an implementation in a specific language.
