You don't really need a library. It's more so adhering to a protocol by running a service you make or someone else's. I wrote my own for SN. Here are the docs for it:

Can anyone explain how the <name>@stacker.news funding works?

A couple stackers have write ups on their own systems that they built so I'm hoping they chime in but given `<name>@stacker.news` the gist is: 
1. a wallet makes a `GET` request to stacker.news providing `<name>`
2. stacker.news responds with a URL to get an invoice from
3. the wallet asks the user how much they want to pay
4. the wallet makes a `GET` to the URL from `2` with the amount from `3`
5. stacker.news returns the invoice
6. your wallet pays it
