"About Family Library
With Family Library, you can share select content between two adults in your Amazon Household.
in Amazon Device Support › Managing Your Fire & Kindle, Kindle Content, and Account › "
As we used to say in the Days Of The Dinosaurs, YMMV

Note that with Family Library, Kindle Unlmited and now Prime Reading borrows cannot be shared between the 2 'adult' accounts, as eBook and audiobook purchases and (if I am remembering correctly) Overdrive eBook borrows can be.
You can however add KU/PR borrows to one or more of the (up to 4) 'child' accounts. So the Prime or KU subscriber can Add the borrows to a 'child' account, and then anyone with access to the 'child' account can read those as well as any other books that have been added there, even if they aren't an actual child. I can imagine these child accounts would be good for provisioning 'loaner' Kindles and Fires where you don't necessarily want the loanee to be able to see everything in your library or be able to purchase books that would be charged to your account (by accident or otherwise).
If one of the linked 'parent' accounts is a Prime subscriber, and the other is a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, then between the two, you can borrow 20 things and make those available to a 'child' account, as well as any of your purchases of course..
