I'm looking for a library of practical JavaScript examples. Can you
recommend any?

No.

Be warned : many such are old and contain amateurish coding.

Be particularly wary of those which allow almost anyone to contribute
almost anything without applying quality control.

For example, one such site contains code obviously copied (without
permission) from my site; but it has been so carelessly copied as to be
of little use as it stands.

When using libraries, remember that the whole of a page, and of the
include files that it uses, must in general be transmitted to the
reader, who may be on a radio or dial-up link. Therefore, use the sort
of library that allows you substantially to select, as an author, only
code which will be executed, and avoid the sort which provides only vast
multi-purpose chunks.

Watch out also for those who code for one specific version of one
browser.
