Who are the Open Book Society Members
The Literacy Alliance Open Book Society membership includes local individuals interested in the continuing education, economic success, and quality of life of local citizens. Open Book Society Members act on their interest in adult literacy and adult education by supporting the Literacy Alliance mission with financial contributions, advocacy and participation in Society events.
What do Members do
Through the Open Book Society, Members come together in regularly scheduled Meetings that feature discussions with local civic leaders, policy experts, and simply interesting people. Presentations and discussions embrace the idea that we can all increase our literacy in lots of areas with presentations on a wide range of topics, but also always find the common connection to adult literacy and education.
The Society will meet four times a year. Each Meeting will feature a moderated discussion with the evening’s featured guest. Each guest is charged with sharing their story, discussing a topic of their interest, and connecting that topic (whatever it is) with adult literacy and adult education.

How to Join
To be an open book is to move through the world with clarity and self-assurance, to comprehend and be heard. Open Book Society Members believe literacy is a gateway, not just to improved reading but to deeper connection, greater confidence, and lasting progress. It leads to independence, empowerment, and the ability to fully participate with purpose and possibility.
Individuals can join the Society by making a personal contribution of at least $500 each year.
Through your support, students become lifelong learners, gaining the tools they need to read, advance, and access the possibilities they have always deserved.
Individuals who join between November 1 and December 31, 2025 will be recognized as the Society’s Founding Members!
