US #librarians: on behalf of #authors may I ask, is there any hope of a Public Lending Right equivalent in US, as in UK & Ireland? Authors whose work is borrowed here get a yearly payment. Has this been mooted in US? I just got my PLR payment here in Scotland but something similar from US libraries would be golddust. All comments welcome -- I'm keen to learn.
