As a Canadian author in Canada, I receive a small amount annually based on public library use of my book, Stalin’s Gulag at War (UTP, 2019). It’s from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Public Lending Rights Commission. Very grateful #PublicLendingRights #BringingTheArtsToLife

Thanks to Canada's Public Lending Rights program - I recommend all Canadian Authors register their books. If you book is in one of the libraries they sample, you get royalties. #publiclendingright #bringingtheartstolife

I asked before taking her picture. She was reading my book. Unfortunately she lost her place in the story. Sorry. The book: “Relationships and Fantasy” available on #kindle and #kobo or wherever you buy books.

Thanks to #PublicLendingRight for #BringingTheArtsToLife I get more for my picture book for being in libraries than through royalties.

I wrote a memoir. My first book. I am 🇨🇦. I registered that book last year with PLR. Public Lending Right-an arm of the Canada Council for the Arts that pays authors based on having their books in Public Libraries. Received my first payment! #BringingTheArtsToLife #PublicLendingRight #Memoir

Grateful to the Canada Council for the Arts, as one of 18K literary creators who received payment this year as compensation for the presence of my book "Dancehall Rebel" in Canada's public libraries 📚.

Thank you, #PublicLendingRight (PLR) Commission 🙏🏽!

Thanks to my fellow Canadian taxpayers for the annual payment in compensation for my books circulating in libraries across Canada. Over 18K writers were similarly compensated. So, dear readers, don’t feel guilty about borrowing books; we authors are well compensated. Thanks! #BringingTheArtsToLIfe

Most writers struggle. Many write "on the side". I won't quit my day job, but I just got a much appreciated payment from the Public Lending Right Program of Canada. Yay for public libraries! And for parties supporting Canadian arts & culture - our unique voice!

It's always been print books and now they are also including ebooks and audiobooks. so if you haven't already signed up I hope you do. It is a great help; especially when many of us don't make a lot of money. Thank you Public Lending Right and Canada Council for the Arts. #BringingTheArtsToLife
