× Go to the library very often because I work a very demanding job so I do not have time to go to a library, although I love reading books and try to read ebooks whenever I get time.

The original sentence lacks a subject and proper sentence structure. Starting with 'Go to the library very often' is incomplete. Adding 'I don't' clarifies the subject and verb, making the sentence grammatically correct and coherent.

The phrase 'go to a library' should be 'go to the library' to refer to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Using 'the' is appropriate here to specify the library in general.
× The library. I use the studying space available there to complete my assignments and I try to find new books to read there.
✓ The library: I use the study space available there to complete my assignments, and I try to find new books to read there.
The original sentence starts with 'The library.' as a fragment. Changing the period to a colon connects the ideas properly. Also, 'studying space' is better expressed as 'study space' for natural usage.

'Educational material' should be pluralized to 'educational materials' to correctly refer to multiple types of materials, which is more natural in this context.
× But nowadays everything is available online, all the ebooks, assignments.
✓ But nowadays, everything is available online: all the ebooks and assignments.
Adding a comma after 'nowadays' improves readability. Using a colon introduces the list properly. Also, adding 'and' between 'ebooks' and 'assignments' is necessary for correct list structure.
× So they don't need to go to library that often, Instead they can get everything because of the technology at their homes.
✓ So they don't need to go to the library that often. Instead, they can get everything because of technology at their homes.
