WELCOME

Through our website we aim to provide published authors with an easy route to register for PLR which is a legal right to payment from government each time their books are borrowed from public libraries.

We also provide further details of the work we do and through our Media Centre give a unique insight into the nation’s book borrowing tastes from the data collected from libraries across the UK.
