Would the librarians generally support the notion of 'payment' for e lending do you think?

We do not pay to belong to our local libraries in Aus, nor do we pay to borrow books, e or otherwise.

(The volume of ebooks on offer is ridiculously currently low.)
Don't know; I'm not a Brit.

Here in the US, property taxes generally pay for public libraries and no other fees are charged for using their services. I'm lucky and live in an area with great public library systems and large ebook collections. Because of reciprocal borrowing agreements, I belong to over half a dozen different library systems. If a book's not available at one, it might be at another.
