First off, to enable Steam Family Sharing, both you and the family member/friend you want to share with need to log into Steam in the same computer. After logging in, go to Steam > Settings > Family, and then check the box that allows you to authorize library sharing on that computer. Remember, you can share your library with up to five accounts and on up to ten devices at once!

Enabling Steam Family Sharing is easy peasy! Just log in on the PC you wanna share from, head to settings, find the 'Family' tab, and tick 'Authorize Library Sharing on this computer'. Boom! Done. Now, just make sure your friend or family member logs in on the same device to access your games!
