  This is a report from the Libraries and Tools Working Group of the High
Energy Physics Forum for Computational Excellence. It presents the vision of
the working group for how the HEP software community may organize and be
supported in order to more efficiently share and develop common software
libraries and tools across the world's diverse set of HEP experiments. It gives
prioritized recommendations for achieving this goal and provides a survey of a
select number of areas in the current HEP software library and tools landscape.
The survey identifies aspects which support this goal and areas with
opportunities for improvements. The survey covers event processing software
frameworks, software development, data management, workflow and workload
management, geometry information management and conditions databases.
