I must add at this point that if at all possible eradicate the requirement for 2 javascript libraries.
Javascript libraries, though incredibly useful, are fairly large in size, and using two can raise all sorts of performance issues. As you stated you are a novice it think its more important that you work to use just one library, 1) getting used to a single library is a lot easier to handle, 2) it is very important to get into good practices early. If I had to choose between the two, I'd suggest you opt for JQuery, it's served me better historically than Prototype, but that is personal opinion.
