At least in the UK, yes: they pay a fee (Public Lending Right) based on the number of times a given title is loaned out. This goes to an organization, PLR, that disburses the collected funds to authors. You have to register as an author and tell them the ISBNs of your elligible titles, but once a year they send you a nice cheque
