Welcome Matt.
What sort of things are you interested in looking at?
If you are new and want to start learning your way around the sky then a Starwheel is a good start. It will help you find and identify many constellations, is cheap and simple to use.
I started out with "The Southern Sky Guide" by David Ellyard & Wil Tirion. I found it to be a good all round starters book. I know it is available at many bookshops. Not only does it explain in fairly basic lingo the hobby you are about to start on, it contains simple but accurate star charts along with many reachable (with your size scope) Deep Sky Objects.
Its not the only good book by a long shot and I am sure everyone here has their favourite.
Hope this helps you get started.
Clear skies
Paul
