Setting up Family Sharing on Steam is like sharing your digital game library with your fav cousin, but easier. First, log into your Steam account on the computer you wanna share from. Head over to 'Steam' in the top left, click on 'Settings', then 'Family'. Here, you'll see an option for 'Authorize Library Sharing on this computer'. Check that, then pick who you want to share with from the list of accounts that have also logged in on this computer. Boom, done! Now they can play your games (as long as you're not playing them at the same time).

Been using Steam Family Sharing for years. Best thing is, it lets my brother play games from my library without bothering me. Just remember, you can't play the same game at the same time, which is fair IMO.

Honestly, just buy your own games. Sharing complicates things.
