What is a good opening for a player at my level to learn when I'm playing as white? Thanks

For someone seeking help with choosing openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site. Perhaps you would also want to look at Discovering Chess Openings by GM Johm Emms (2006).

"If you find an opening [in this book, Discovering Chess Openings,] that appeals to you and you wish to find out more about it, the next step would be to obtain an introductory text devoted entirely to that subject." - GM John Emms (2006)
