Hello,


Through Purchase Sharing you can share “Books from the Book Store in Apple Books.”

What types of content can I share with my family? - Apple Support


The shared books wouldn’t show in Media & Purchases though.


What is Family Sharing? - Apple Support

“When you set up purchase sharing, everyone in the family gets access to the apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books that family members buy. The content automatically appears on the Purchased page in the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, or Apple TV app. Some items can't be shared.”


I hope this helps.
