what is the difference between an API and a library?

hi. i didn't know what API stands for so i looked it up. to me a library and an API sound similar to a library but im sure there are some differences that i don't know about. It soundslike a library could be part of an API but i dunno. Is a library moreso to make new programs and an API is to help developers develop an existing program? thanks for any replies in advance
