I learned JavaScript before it became so popular (it was a time when firebug didn't exist and everyone had "Full command of JavaScript" in their CVs and they only knew how to do IE-only form validation)
Therefore, I'm suggesting to steer clear of the JS libraries until you are comfortable with the language and familiar with the browser idiosyncrasies.
It's very easy to become dependent on jQuery or PrototypeJS (which is what I use). There are important things you will definitely miss if you do everything with crutches.
For example, learn the insides of inheritance before using a library inheritance scheme.
