PLR July 2009 - June 2010
I've just received the PLR statement covering 1st July 2009 to 30th June 2010.
My books were borrowed 240 times!
The rate per loan was 6.25 pence, so I might blow it all on a cup of coffee and an apple Danish. :)

Hopefully those 240 people are eagerly waiting for your next book - and will each tell a friend about your work.
The children's book I've got registered with them went out of print years ago, so I suppose it's a miracle it's still around at all.
Not to mention that most essential of life's items, loos! They spend £100,000 on one eco loo and then close it???????????????????????????? All our Tourist Information Centres are to go ... we are a tourist based economy, hasn't anyone told our Council that???????????????????????????
(not that I am expecting to be on it , but sounds interesting reading )
Writers who have registered their books for PLR get an individual statement each year which tells them how much they've got or not got from x number of lendings.
I am not sure if I did this or not...
It's in our local libraries and I had to send a copy to the British Library. Maybe this is something else.
The web address for PLR is in the useful websites section.
Yes, I've seen the bit about the Isle of Wight libraries on the news.
There are so many libraries at risk of closure. It seems that before long it will be cities and very large towns that have libraries and absolutely nowhere else. Apart from anything else, it's terrible that so many people will lose their jobs.
PLR, TIC, IOW ????

Tourist Information Centres.
Isle of Wight.
A few change each year, so you can look at which libraries are being used now and which will be in the 2011-2012 period.
Though we don't know what changes there may be in future when PLR comes under a different body.
