“Suppose, for instance, that, during the last twenty-five years, AA had never published any standard literature–no books, no pamphlets. We need little imagination to see that by now our message would be hopelessly garbled. Our relations with medicine and religion would have become a shambles. To alcoholics generally we would today be a joke and the public would have thought us a riddle. Without its literature, AA would certainly have bogged down in a welter of controversy and disunity.” -Bill W

Mission Statement
The Area 15 Literature Committee derives its mission from the A.A. Guidelines for Literature Committees published by the General Service Office. It seeks to encourage District Literature Committee Chairpersons, through their committees, to inform members of their districts of all available Conference-approved literature, audiovisual material and other special items; become familiar with the information on G.S.O.’s A.A. website; display literature for group and district functions; consider suggestions regarding proposed additions to and changes in Conference-approved literature and audiovisual material; and encourage A.A. members to read and purchase A.A. literature.
