Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Well, it depends on where they live. In some urban cities there were newly built large libraries and they have some room for for children to read and to play. But in most of the small cities and rural areas there is just no.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× I prefer study at home and since my my home is far away from the major library in our city and sometimes it's hard to find a parking lot, so I prefer study at home.

I prefer studying at home and since my home is far away from the major library in our city and sometimes it's hard to find a parking lot, so I prefer studying at home.

The verb 'prefer' should be followed by the gerund form (verb + -ing), so 'study' should be corrected to 'studying'. This is a common structure in English when expressing preferences.

Verb + -ing form

× so I prefer study at home.

so I prefer studying at home.

Same as above, 'prefer' requires the gerund form 'studying' instead of the base verb 'study'.

Sentence structure errors

× Where I usually go to library to print some stuff like my resume or some application letters because it's very cheap to to print up A4 paper in the library.

I usually go to the library to print some stuff like my resume or some application letters because it's very cheap to print A4 paper in the library.

The sentence has incorrect word order and redundancy ('to to print up'). The phrase 'Where I usually go to library' is incorrect; it should be 'I usually go to the library'. Also, 'print up' is unnecessary; 'print' suffices.

Article errors

× Where I usually go to library to print some stuff like my resume or some application letters because it's very cheap to to print up A4 paper in the library.

I usually go to the library to print some stuff like my resume or some application letters because it's very cheap to print A4 paper in the library.

The noun 'library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Missing 'the' before 'library' is an article error.

Past tense issue

× No, I was a kid, I was schooled just didn't have a library.

No, when I was a kid, I was schooled but we didn't have a library.

The sentence is missing the conjunction 'but' to connect the clauses properly. Also, 'just didn't have a library' is incomplete; adding 'we' clarifies the subject. The past tense 'was' and 'didn't have' are correct.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× No, I was a kid, I was schooled just didn't have a library.

No, when I was a kid, I was schooled but we didn't have a library.

The pronoun 'we' is needed to indicate who didn't have a library. Using 'I' alone is unclear in this context.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× And it's not open to students. It's only open to the the teachers, staff members.

And it wasn't open to students. It was only open to the teachers and staff members.

The tense should be past ('wasn't' and 'was') to match the time frame of being a kid. Also, 'the the' is a typo and should be corrected to a single 'the'. The conjunction 'and' is needed between 'teachers' and 'staff members'.

Sentence structure errors

× Yeah. So I, I really didn't get a chance to go to the school library and.

Yeah. So, I really didn't get a chance to go to the school library.

The sentence ends abruptly with 'and' which is incomplete. Removing 'and' completes the sentence properly.

There be issue

× But in most of the small cities and rural areas there is just no.

But in most small cities and rural areas, there are just none.

The phrase 'there is just no' is incomplete and ungrammatical. Since 'small cities and rural areas' is plural, 'there are' should be used. Also, 'none' is clearer to indicate absence of libraries.
