Public Lending Right
Under the Public Lending Right Scheme payment is made from government funds to authors whose books are borrowed from public libraries.
The amount payable is proportionate to the estimated number of times an author's books are borrowed nationally during the PLR year (July - June). Payment is made the following February. No author may receive more than £6,600 each year. (£6.66 million was distributed to 23,940 authors in 2008).
To qualify, authors must register their books with the PLR office. Payment calculations are based on book loans from a representative sample of public libraries.
For further information contact the Public Lending Right office or see their home page on the internet.
