Petition the Prime Minister to halt the reduction of funding for Public Lending Right. You must be a British citizen or resident to sign this petition.
Public Lending Right is the right for authors, illustrators, photographers, translators and editors to receive payment under PLR legislation for the loans of their books by public libraries. More than 23,000 people are entitled to receive payment under this scheme, and for many the annual PLR payment is an important part of their income. PLR is particularly valuable to those people who receive little or no royalty on book sales; their books are more often borrowed from libraries than bought in shops.
