What's difference between plugin and library in JS?

By installing some new functionality on the website I realized that some authors called library and others plugin their .js project. I would like to know to differentiate a plugin from a library.

jQuery is a JS library / framework. jQuery functionality can be extended by jQuery plugins. These plugins wouldn't work without jQuery as they use its functionality. I think this is a good example to understand the difference.

On the same line can a .js plugin be considered an application or anything is an application in javascript?
