Library funding: spending caps on book lending royalties 2025-2034

The act sets specific amounts that the state will allocate from 2025 to 2034 to compensate creators for public libraries lending their works. If actual spending exceeds the set cap, payments will be reduced to the capped level.
Key points
The state reserved PLN 61.6 million over 10 years for compensating authors for library book lending – from PLN 5.5 million in 2025 to PLN 6.9 million in 2034.
If calculated royalties exceed the annual cap, libraries will pay only up to the capped amount – creators may receive less than actual lending would warrant.
The Minister of Culture will monitor spending and trigger the reduction mechanism when limits are exceeded.
