There's an overview of Public Lending Right (in the U.K.) at:

Authors register, and then the PLR fund is divvied up between them based on the number of loans.
Libraries' computerised issuing system tracks the number of loans.
In 2008 it worked out at just under 6 pence per loan, up to a maximum annual payment of £6,600.
