For context on how good PLR is: I earn about as much from the PLR loan payments as I do in domestic sales royalties for Bumble & Snug.
No-one serious would ever say libraries have a negative impact on sales (& I’d argue the opposite).

Libraries BUY books. Unlike tech companies wot steal them. Also: PLR! The Public Lending Right scheme meaans authors in the uk and ireland and a few other places get money for each library loan!
If you genuinely believe that libraries negatively impact book sales, I don't even know what to say to you.

PLR is great. You can get it even if you don't own the copyright to a work! Work for hire writers who don't get any royalties still get PLR! Pay artists through all channels, always!

I just received my PLR/ELR statement. PLR/ELR is a way that Australian writers can receive income from their books in libraries and schools. I remind writers to do your bloody paperwork so you can get paid and I remind readers if you borrow our books from libraries we still get paid.

100% this. Libraries are essential community assets. (And in the UK, authors get a small royalty from the PLR every time someone borrows one of their books).

Ok this is a good nudge. A reminder for newly published authors in the UK - and established authors who may have forgotten to recently - to register your works with PLR, PLR Ireland, and ALCS, to make sure you are getting your stipend when readers borrow your books 📚

A reminder that in the UK, borrowing a book from the library actually *helps* the author. We get money from every loan.
