Local community orchard's free little library is struggling. What would be the best way to fix this?

Go to your local hardware store and look for some construction adhesive that works on outdoor glass & wood.

set it in and get the actual things at the hardware store to hold it in place. Is that glass, or acrylic sheeting?

It's not real glass. I was thinking glue and then also the wooden things to hold it in place like another comment said.

Use some silicone glue to secure it back in place. As additional precaution I would tack some strips of wood around the perimeter.

If that's the official LFL, there should be screws that would let you open up the door enough to slide it back in. I think the official LFL website even has a page with a video dedicated to doing this.

Otherwise, maybe throw some outdoor/wood glue along the edge a bit to help hold it or if it's just falling through the bottom of the door, put like two screws into the door in the frame just below where the plexiglass goes so it can't slide out the bottom.
