It's not a library, it's a platform that's based on node.js. It's more or less a fork of node or "spork" as they call it.
The github repo is a bit more clear: https://github.com/iojs/io.js
The main point seems to be that it's run on an open governance model: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/blob/v1.x/GOVERNANCE.md
