ibook family sharing 12.1 problems

With 12.1, my wife cannot see or access the new iBooks I have purchased. Is this a glitch in 12.1 or, if not, can you tell me how to find and then access the books I purchased for her iPad. It was so easy in earlier versions. We have have had family sharing set up for years now.

When you ask, ”You have sharing of purchases of enabled on your account?”, I do have Family Sharing turned on and her Name clearly shows In my Settings. Is there somewhere else I have to enable sharing in the IBooks app itself now? We were able to share before 12.1.

That is the problem, there is no ”Purchased” category in the revised iBooks 12.1 version that I can see. I click on her Library, Collections, and I see Downloaded and My Books but not the books I Purchased. I see 108 books in her My Books but on my IPad I have purchased 170. How do you view the books I purchased in 12.1?
