Family Sharing shares the subscription to the Apple Music streaming service and any purchases made form the iTunes Store, but does not share your own Music Library directly.

If you are sharing the Apple Music streaming service subscription, then he should be able to access the entirety of the Apple Music Catalog from the Listen Now section in the Music app on his devices. Link-> Listen to music and more in the Apple Music app - Apple Support
You can use Home Sharing, different to Family Sharing to share an iTunes Library from a computer (Mac or PC) to other devices on the same network. Link-> Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices - Apple Support
