Then you should be free to distribute it further without worrying. How is
distributing it further any different from distributing the link if it is
completely free to download?

If you put limitless free copies of your book in the library and nobody had
to sign up for anything then yes, I don't think you would have much claim to
people making further copies of it when it is freely available anyway.
Exactly what have you lost, as the author, by people making their own copies
when you are giving away your copies for free?
