A simple SPFX app extension could provide this. Using the placeholders, or the message at, or even a modal from a command bar button, you could show the library description. What would be preferable?

Hi Ryan

 

I am always interested in SPFx solutions.

 

I know about using SPFx Extensions to add headers and footers to site.

Can you tell me more ?

 

Thanks
