What is the difference between a plugin and a javascript library?

1

Recently I have studied a lot of front-end in the vast world that is web programming and by installing some new functionality on the websites I developed I realized that some authors called their library .js and other project's plugin.

I would like to differentiate a plugin from a library and vice versa.

How much terminology is the difference between plugin and library?

Basically:

A PLUGIN is a component that adds functionality to an existing program (according to WikiPedia )

A LIBRARY is a set of routines and methods that can be used to develop software
