It depends on what you want to want to do - this library has a wider scope than others I've seen. The closest I know would be Raphael, which is nice in that it also supports IE (Canvas): http://raphaeljs.com/
If you just want Graphs/Charts, here's a few off the top of my head:

for clarification, raphael's IE support is not from HTML 5's canvas tag, but from SVG's precursor, VML: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_Markup_Language

The Javascript InfoVis Toolkit: http://thejit.org/
and gRaphaël: http://g.raphaeljs.com/
spring to mind.
