Roughly speaking, jQuery is a library for the app developers and a framework for the plugin authors. So it is both a library and framework at once.

interesting viewpoint, I hadn't thought of jQuery this way.
edit: sheesh why did i get downvoted for this? it is absolutely a library which is completely different from a framework. even jquery's website says it is a library.
