I know that there are lots of personal IndieWeb sites around, and even an indieweb site for a cat, so why couldn’t a library join the IndieWeb?
IndieWeb Core Principles and Libraries
Indeed, libraries are meant to store, protect, and help disseminate information. These functions alone should make them ground zero for the philosophies of owning your own data and making one more connected to their community which underpin the IndieWeb. Shouldn’t they? It almost makes me suspicious that all libraries aren’t part of the IndieWeb movement.
Little Free Library #8424
Now sadly, this particular library is ridiculously small, but that doesn’t make it any less important or special. If anything, it’s even more special now because Little Free Library #8424 (Adams Hill) is a proud member of the IndieWeb.
(And yes, for those interested, the library definitely also accepts Indie Book donations!)
Syndicated copies to silos include “Syndicated to:” text · Issue #32 · dshanske/syndication-links https://github.com/dshanske/syndication-links/issues/32
Similar to this issue with Jetpack: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/4399
The text output from Syndication Links (the default text “Syndicated to:” ) shows up in the syndicated copies (and I’d generally think that most wouldn’t want it from a UI/UX perspective). I’ve tried syndicating to most of the major platforms and Facebook and Tumblr appear to be the primary offenders.
Example:

Syndicated FB Copy: https://www.facebook.com/ChrisAldrich/posts/10101055831666725?pnref=story
Perhaps the checks and the patch mentioned in https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/4399 could provide a solution?
