What is the difference between a module and a library?

[Daniel Eakins]

Yeah I'm a newbie when it comes to programming terminology

I may be wrong, But i think a library would be like a module, But designed to work with a specific thing like löve, While a module is something that uses pure lua and works with anything that uses lua.
Let me reiterate, i may be wrong. this is basically a guess.

Basically, a module is a file you can require(), a library is a collection of code with a single purpose that is distributed together. A library may consist of one module or more than one.
