× Yes, I do often go to the library.
✓ Yes, I often do go to the library.
The adverb 'often' is better placed before the auxiliary verb 'do' for natural English word order.
× I've been to books really much and I like the idea of being quiet and going through my stuff and it is kind of mediating for me.
✓ I've read a lot of books and I like the idea of being quiet and going through my stuff; it is kind of meditative for me.
The phrase 'been to books really much' is incorrect; 'read a lot of books' is the correct expression. Also, 'mediating' should be 'meditative' to describe a calming effect.
× It's just kind of my hobby also.
✓ It's just kind of my hobby, too.
Using 'also' at the end is less natural; 'too' is preferred in this context to add information.
× In addition, I often go there to work or study because of the calm environment allows me to concentrate better.
✓ In addition, I often go there to work or study because the calm environment allows me to concentrate better.
The phrase 'because of the calm environment allows' is incorrect; 'because the calm environment allows' is the correct structure.
× Not really because there are not enough.
✓ Not really because there are not enough libraries.
The sentence is incomplete; 'there are not enough' needs an object, such as 'libraries', to be grammatically correct.
× Maybe I'm wrong, there are no libraries in my country, but they are actually kind of.
✓ Maybe I'm wrong; there are no libraries in my country, but there are actually some.
The phrase 'they are actually kind of' is unclear and incorrect; 'there are actually some' correctly refers to the existence of libraries.
× Growing up there been opening libraries near like street libraries and stuff like that.
✓ Growing up, libraries like street libraries and stuff like that were being opened nearby.
The original sentence lacks proper tense and structure; 'were being opened' correctly expresses past continuous passive action.
× Free for everyone.
✓ They are free for everyone.
The sentence lacks a subject and verb; adding 'They are' completes the sentence.
× I'm really not into Chinese kids, so I don't know if they go to the library or not, but I think they go and every kid has their own choices.
✓ I'm really not familiar with Chinese kids, so I don't know if they go to the library or not, but I think they do, and every kid has their own choices.
'Not into' is informal and unclear here; 'not familiar with' is more appropriate. Also, 'they go' should be 'they do' to avoid repetition.
× And obviously some of the kids, I guess they do go to the library.
✓ And obviously, some of the kids, I guess, do go to the library.
Placing 'obviously' and 'I guess' with commas improves clarity and natural flow.
× And I think Chinese kids are really much intelligent.
✓ And I think Chinese kids are really intelligent.
'Really much intelligent' is incorrect; 'really intelligent' is the correct form.
× So it it might I would.
✓ So it might be, I would say.
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear; the correction provides a complete and meaningful expression.
