I like libraries, in principle. However, I'm concerned about literacy rates. Access to libraries and literacy are not related. Examine the Pisa rankings, for instance. Furthermore, why is it that literacy rates in Scotland are falling,

If this were a simple result of rising ocean temperatures on a global scale, wouldn't we expect oxygen levels in the atmosphere to increase? That doesn't seem to be happening (quite the opposite.) So, where is the oxygen?

Most applications need more than one vector. Management of this with custom allocators pays dividends fairly quickly.
