Main difference between Library and Helper?

Hi guys,

Well, this question sprung to my mind. What is the main difference between a library and a helper? Ok....when it comes to coding yes, a library is an OO while the helper is procedural and it is stated in the manual. How about other differences?

Ok let me change the question? What's the advantage of creating a library than of the helper? Or why do create a helper when you can create a library? Or more specifc question, why did the CI developers create helpers, why dont they create a library for those helpers like make a form class not form helpers or an array class rather than array helpers and like what I said library is OO and helpers are procedural and for me its better to code OO than procedural. I know there are reasons behind this, so can someone explain to me the advantages of creating helpers rather than a library.

Good day.
