Is that library already included in SP13? – Nk SP Mar 25 '14 at 10:09
It's a third party, open-source library. On the link I provided you'll find all the details – MdMazzotti Mar 25 '14 at 10:12
Do you know which is the DisplayName (name of the column which is shown on forms) for the default people picker? (display users) – Nk SP Mar 25 '14 at 10:17
Fire open your browser developer toolbar and hover over the picker with the inspector tool – MdMazzotti Mar 25 '14 at 10:25
