5. How to share Audible audiobooks in Plus Catalog with family?

Amazon Household Library is an exciting new member feature that allows you to share your audiobooks with people in your household. By adding different family members to your account you allow them to save their own bookmarks and notes without interfering with your account. But titles included in the Plus Catalog cannot be shared using Library Sharing. Is there any way to share Plus Catalog content with your family?
