Liberty holds a torch in her right hand and a tablet in her left. The tablet shows the inscription JULY IV MDCCLXXVI—July 4, 1776, the date of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
I'm quoting Wikipedia but I remeber it from when we donated to the restoration they did on her back in the 1980's.

It's not a book, it's a tablet
The tablet which the Statue holds in her left hand reads, in Roman numerals, "July 4, 1776" the day of America's independence from Britain.

You should give the points to Answerer number 9 (J Ford) who was the first person to not take some wild guess, but get it right...It's a tablet with July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals.

The inscription on the tablet in her left hand reads:
July IV, MDCCLXXVI
This is the date the Declaration of Independence was signed, expressed in roman numerals.
Emma Lazarus' famous poem about welcoming immigrants, which begins "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." is inscribed on a bronze tablet that hangs inside the statue's pedestal.
