Frameworks vs Libraries, Backbone.js

From Pluralsight's course on Backbone.js
"Frameworks call your code , while your code calls Libraries...
Another way to think of it is - Frameworks control how you design you app...they specify things like, 'where' you put 'what' files, what you can do, and how you do it..
It's great for getting started, and it's great for getting things done quickly, but it is terrible for flexibility..
Libraries provide some useful features, and then you are on your own.
Backbone for example, provides help with a number of common user interface features, but does not help at all with how you design your application. It's both its strength and weakness." 
...
Backbone is a library of tools..
