Sign our 40th birthday card to PLR!
September marks the 40th anniversary of the introduction of Public Lending Right (PLR) in the UK.
PLR extended to e-lending
The Government has today committed to extending Public Lending Right (PLR) to all forms of e-lending.
Volunteer to help shape the future of PLR
The British Library is looking for authors to volunteer to give feedback on the PLR website. The sessions will last for one hour and will take place on Wednesday 6 June and Thursday 12 July in London.
Make your views known to Government on PLR
You will remember that, after strong lobbying by the SoA, legislation to extend PLR to ebooks was finally passed last year. However we are concerned that the Government has not taken the necessary action to implement the change. An additional piece of secondary legislation needs to be passed, which the Government committed to completing by 1 July 2018, so that the first in arrears payments could be made by February 2020.
