I believe in some locales (U.K.), the authors do get paid per checkout.

In the U.S., I believe that for the big publishers, the libraries purchase a license (which the the author may get some percent) with a set number of checkouts. I don't believe the author gets anything for each checkout, they may get something when a license is purchased.
