Suggestion: Your answer is somewhat off-topic and too general. Focus more directly on the question about Chinese kids' library habits. Use specific examples and avoid broad claims without support.

Grammar

Incorrect use of prepositions

× It's near to our home and I study English there.

It's near our home and I study English there.

The preposition 'to' is unnecessary after 'near'. The correct phrase is 'near our home', not 'near to our home'. Removing 'to' makes the sentence grammatically correct.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× But a part of that I sometimes read history books because I love history books.

But apart from that, I sometimes read history books because I love history.

The phrase 'a part of that' is incorrect here. The correct expression is 'apart from that' to indicate an additional point. Also, repeating 'history books' is redundant; 'I love history' is sufficient and more natural.

Past tense issue

× I didn't used to be interested in reading and learning, but nowadays going to the library is my favorite hobby and I enjoy that so much.

I didn't use to be interested in reading and learning, but nowadays going to the library is my favorite hobby and I enjoy that so much.

In negative past habitual expressions, 'use to' is correct, not 'used to'. The phrase should be 'didn't use to' instead of 'didn't used to'.
