No, games are tied to your Steam account. If you create a new Steam account, you won't have access to games purchased on the old account. You can, however, use Steam Family Sharing to share your library with another account. Here's how: Go to Steam > Settings > Family > Authorize Library Sharing on This Computer. This way, a new account can access your games while you keep your original account.
