The PLR Commission is pleased to announce that it is working to introduce active registration of audiobooks starting in 2019. Full eligibility criteria and registration details will be announced before the initial registration period begins. The PLR Commission anticipates that eligible Canadian creators will be included in the new program component.

This new initiative is in keeping with the evolving nature of literary production and public library use and demand in Canada. The anticipated introduction of certain audiobook formats to PLR in 2019 follows on the successful adoption of e-books by the program in 2016.
