WCCPBA 21 Read Aloud Permissions as of October 2, 2020

The WCCPBA Committee supports copyright. Right now, many, but not all publishers, have given read aloud permission, through December 31, 2020. This document is here to help you navigate the correct way to share WCCPBA nominees if you are working virtually.

Most publishers would like you to do the following: • At the beginning of the reading, state it is “with permission of .” • Send your name, school or library, city and state, and the title and author/illustrator of the book you intend to read online to publisher’s email. • Tag @ in social media posts connected with their reading. • Delete uploaded videos or, in the event the applicable platform does not permit deletion, disable access to uploaded videos by December 31, 2020.
