Writers Will Get Library Royalties

August 2nd, 2005

I wonder how this would play out in the US.

“A new Government scheme will pay writers royalties every time their books are taken out of public libraries. The payments system will be introduced next year, bringing Ireland in line with a European directive. At the moment, writers are only paid once - when libraries buy their books. In Britain, authors receive library royalties of up to 6,000 Pounds every year.”
