A library is something that you can pretty much do by yourself. You could write a couple of utility functions put them in a file and there you are. After that you can import them to whatever program you write. "Professional" libraries provide way more functionality than that but basically that's what libraries are. A framework is a bit more. You can think of it as a very elaborate template that includes several libraries and even code from different languages. It is a whole software environment, providing you with a skeleton of files that are already prepared for working together. So for example django for Python includes a server plus already prepared files for views, models etc. and html templates. Hth!
