Pretty much all light novels fall into this category. Dengeki Bunko has stuff like Shakugan no SHANA and Kino no Tabi. Maria-sama ga Miteru is published under Cobalt Bunko, etc. Pretty much all of Dengeki is aimed at young men: Dengeki Daioh, Dengeki Moeh, Dengeki Gao, Dengeki PS2, etc.
Yeah I know >.< I guess I shouldn't have used Library as a translation and sticked with Bunko >.< anyway I'll do that from now on.

Dengeki Bunko is for young men (a label for young men).

Cobalt Bunko is for girls.

Edit:

I started using Library since some site mentioned it as the translation to Bunko, and it made it easy not to make people think its a magazine >.<

Anyway I'm not using Library as the translation and using Bunko from now on.

Not every Dengeki magazine is for young men.

These Dengeki magazines are for young men:

Dengeki Daioh
Dengeki HP
Dengeki Moeoh
Dengeki Teioh
Dengeki Animaga
Dengeki Hime
Dengeki PS
Dengeki PS2
Dengeki G's Magazine
Dengeki G's Festival!
Dengeki Maoh
--> a new seinen manga magazine
... (and others that I haven't mentioned)

This is a magazine for boys:

Dengeki Comic Gao!

There was a magazine for girls called (if I remember right): Dengeki PS for Girls (but I don't know what happened to it, can't find it on MediaWorks site, maybe it got defunct, if it did then every Dengeki magazine and label are aimed at male audience)

If possible Catgirls change Dengeki Library to Dengeki Bunko, I underlined where to change:

Quote:
a seinen novel based on the seinen manga will be published under the seinen(young men's) label Dengeki Bunko (Dengeki Bunko is a label thats aimed at young men, anything published under this label is aimed at male audience).
