Of course!
You can think of a framework like a prewritten paper that is set up for you and ll you have to do is go in and fill in the parts acustomed to you. React.js is a great example framework for the language JavaScript. They both use the same syntax, but React makes it easier for you to code then regular vanilla JavaScript.

A library is like a dictionary, its filled with useful information like variables and functions, classes and much more. There are hundrends of libraries, you have to find one that suits to whatever youre building.

Does this help clarify it a bit more?
