To me framework is a set of libraries, glued together with some infrastructure code. Framework provides some conventions that speed up most common tasks.

It may be possible to use framework as a library, though there is no or small benefit.

"framework is a set of libraries, glued together with some infrastructure code"

That sounds a bit too generic. There are possibly some libraries that group other libraries, but are not really a framework.
