Diference Between A List and Library

Although in most of the UI and API they can be manipulated the same way, there are some significant differences between Lists and Libraries. The latter is a specialized type of the former. 
Lists: 
  • Can have attachments 
  • Have major versions only 
  • Do not have Check-in/Check-out features 
Libraries: 
  • Cannot have attachments (files are directly in the library) 
  • Have both minor (draft) and major (published) versioning 
  • Have Check-in/Check-Out 
  • Publishing Libraries can use Page Layouts 
  • Have Unique Document Ids out of the box 
In code, you can always obtain an SPList from a SPDocumentLibrary but not the other way around.
