Use amenity= to tag a remote dropoff location for a library. This is a place where library users can confidently return or drop off books outside of the library itself. These often look like containers with hatches that only allow for delivery into the repository or container – or there may be an externally accessible drop-in facility on the building itself.
This would be a node only, because these are typically fairly small box-like structure, and differs from a amenity=library which is understood by most to be the physical building where the collection of books resides. A drop-off on the other hand is only used for drop-off not checkout or delivery.
How to map
Use the tag amenity= on a node. A single standalone node would be the most suitable way to map a small detail like a drop-off location, as most are only boxes a few meters wide.
