Every 6 months or so a moderately successful childrens author I know receives a cheque for her "Lending Royalties." It usually amounts to a thousand dollars or therabouts and is collected by her Union (Australian Writers Guild). The Guild incidentally takes a 40% commission to pay for their collection costs and all of the Royalties are in respect of hard copy books borrowed from Public Libraries in various parts of the world.
Do these rights to royalties exist in most places and have Lit authors had much success with collections?
This might also be an appropriate place to consider 'E' authors lending rights as well and particularly Amazons Dual system as I haven't seen a general discussion on the topic recently.
