WELCOME

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

From 1 October 2013 the UK PLR office is part of the British Library. The existing team in Stockton-on-Tees has joined the British Library and continues to administer PLR.

Our website also provides further details of the work we do and through our Media Centre gives a unique insight into UK book borrowing tastes from the data collected from libraries across the country.
