I noticed that my local library was using OSM but with no accreditation.

When I looked (as I recall, on the wiki) for a link to send them, I had
to dig deep and just found this:
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48/can-i-use-these-maps-on-my-website

I seem to remember that the request to credit OSM used to be prominent,
but that no longer seems to be the case, so I could understand how it
might be overlooked.

I sent an polite email on 24th Feb asking them to add the credit, but have
had no reply.

So perhaps the request for credit needs to be more prominent?

Meanwhile, perhaps others might also complain? The offending site is
https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/content/witney-library
As you can see there, their email address is
witney.library at oxfordshire.gov.uk .
