How about "Everybody Poops"? That's a valuable lesson to learn for every civilization and is very unlikely to lead to a fascist dystopia.
That's....just evil.

You mean like, say, To Serve Man?
Damn! Somebody beat me to it. By quite a margin!
the transformers pop-up book?
Play that in reverse and it looks like an unnerving revision of the "Mouse Trap" game. *ooh, my pinky! Thumb too! And the rest!*
If you'd leave the bible behind, at least you know what kind of society you'd get., as we have done that one before.
(Of course that's not really true, there still could be a myriad ways society develops around that book).
The Hobbit.
A cautionary tale about how becoming too industrial or motivated by greed can destroy anyone, even those with good intentions. Also a classic example of living your life to the fullest and not getting caught up in what everyone else thinks of you, or how safe you are.

For me it's probably just that the amount of books I've read is low but also it was hard thinking of something inspiring. I could give them six volumes of Scott Pilgrim or Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down but...y'know. I'd like to give them the film Groundhog Day because of the effect the events in it has on Phil to basically just be nice to people and help them out for the sake of being nice.
I'd leave behind a copy of the Expanse novels by S.A. Corey, I figure it would a least leave the civilization in an advanced state ready to make contact with aliens. It makes me wonder what problems Star Trek style technology would solve for them, such as artificial gravity, defector shields, and ftl drives.
I even made a pitch for it in a two year old thread.
