I'm not sure if they pay royalties, but let's say they do... a library near where I live has Manga. I can go there to read Manga, then leave... There is no way the library would have to pay anything extra after having the book available for its customers.
EDIT; I don't study law, and I'm not too sure about this, but as far as I know, you only have to pay royalties if you make profit/income. Blockbusters for example definitely has to pay royalties as people rent, but if a friend loans me his movies, he would not have to pay royalties... put simply, of course, I'm sure it's a lot more complex than this.
