The (F)ilesystem (H)ierarchy (S)tandard tries to standardize the various paths
and offers exhaustive explanations. It makes an interesting read, I think.

A very simplistic (and rough) answer would be:
/lib /bin are to do with the real core of unix/linux, like the kernel modules
live in
/lib/modules
/usr/lib /usr/bin are the applications/libraries that run on top of the core
unix/linux, things that the users make use of, hence '/usr'
/usr/local/
