× Yes, I definitely go to library more often nowadays.
✓ Yes, I definitely go to the library more often nowadays.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect in this context.
× Whenever I get time I try to read any book mostly.
✓ Whenever I get time, I mostly try to read any book.
The adverb 'mostly' is misplaced at the end of the sentence, which makes the sentence awkward. Placing 'mostly' before the verb phrase 'try to read' improves clarity and naturalness.
× I am mostly into non fictional book and here I have seen the provision of libraries so good where even when I am reading my child can play in life.
✓ I am mostly into non-fictional books, and here I have seen that the provision of libraries is so good that even when I am reading, my child can play inside.
The phrase 'non fictional book' should be plural 'non-fictional books' to match the context. Also, the sentence structure is awkward and missing articles and conjunctions. Adding commas and conjunctions improves readability. 'In life' is incorrect; 'inside' or 'there' is appropriate.
× I usually umm read books from which are non fictional or even I search different books for my child umm like books for early readers.
✓ I usually umm read books that are non-fictional or even search for different books for my child, umm, like books for early readers.
The phrase 'books from which are non fictional' is incorrect; it should be 'books that are non-fictional.' Also, 'search different books' requires the preposition 'for' to be correct: 'search for different books.'
× Sometimes I also go through the go through various programs that's library providing for.
✓ Sometimes I also go through various programs that the library is providing.
The phrase 'that's library providing for' is incorrect. It should be 'that the library is providing.' The definite article 'the' is needed before 'library' to specify which library is being referred to.
× When I was a kid, my area didn't have any Public Library, but I used to go to my school library more often.
✓ When I was a kid, my area didn't have any public library, but I used to go to my school library more often.
'Public Library' should not be capitalized unless it is part of a proper noun. Also, 'any public library' is correct without capitalization.
× I since childhood I really like visiting library more often.
✓ Since childhood, I have really liked visiting the library more often.
The phrase 'I since childhood I really like' is awkward and ungrammatical. It should be 'Since childhood, I have really liked.' Also, 'visiting library' requires the definite article 'the' before 'library.'
× I am really fond of different kinds of books since childhood.
✓ I have been really fond of different kinds of books since childhood.
The tense should be present perfect 'have been' to indicate a state continuing from the past to present. The original sentence uses present tense 'am' which is less appropriate here.
× I'm not that familiar with Chinese kids but I believe they might have been going to the library more often.
✓ I'm not that familiar with Chinese kids, but I believe they go to the library more often.
The phrase 'might have been going' is present perfect continuous and suggests uncertainty about past actions. Since the question is about habitual action, simple present 'go' is more appropriate.
× In Canada I have seen many Chinese kids and also kids of different regions going to library.
✓ In Canada, I have seen many Chinese kids and also kids of different regions going to the library.
The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known in context.
× Even their parents also visit library.
✓ Even their parents also visit the library.
Again, 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' in this context.
× They issue book for their kids.
✓ They issue books for their kids.
The noun 'book' should be plural 'books' because it refers to multiple items issued to children.
