Is there a safe way to setup read only sharing of library
I am wondering if there is any way to setup a library for read only access on my home network in a way that will not corrupt my library?

The others in my home could then browse the library to choose what they want to read.

Yes, use the content server (under Connect/Share).

+1 for the content server.

Easy Peasy, anything with a Web Browser can access,.

do remember you need to add the Port# (selected) on the end in the address

Ahhh thank you. I have never used the Content Server and had thought, when reading about it, that it was a separate program.

I should have read more about it.

Also, if you are behind a router, you'll probably need to forward the chosen port to your computer, if you wish to access the library from outside the home network.
