<p>[holding answer 29 October 2013]: There has been no recent discussions with volunteer libraries about payment of Public Lending Right fees. The payment of the Public Lending Right is restricted to loans of books from public libraries. Book loans from university, college, school and other libraries including volunteer libraries that sit outside the statutory public library service do not qualify for payment. Where a library is run or managed by volunteers and forms part of a library authority's statutory provision, then PLR applies and authors are recompensed for the loan.
