✓ I go to the library like on the weekends whenever I have my free time for my studies, especially when I have like.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' because it refers to a specific place known to both the speaker and listener. Omitting 'the' in this context is incorrect.
× And usually I love to read the story books in the library.
✓ And usually I love to read story books in the library.
The definite article 'the' is not needed before 'story books' because it refers to story books in general, not specific ones. Using 'the' here is incorrect.
× And also I read a lot of story books when I was a child.
✓ And also I used to read a lot of story books when I was a child.
To express habitual actions in the past, 'used to' is more appropriate than simple past 'read' in this context. It clarifies that reading story books was a regular activity during childhood.
× That's why I was kind of addicted to read those ones.
✓ That's why I was kind of addicted to reading those ones.
The verb 'addicted' is followed by the gerund form of the verb, so 'to reading' is correct instead of 'to read'. Using the infinitive 'to read' here is incorrect.
× And also sometimes I see the magazines here to get some knowledge about the fashion going on.
✓ And also sometimes I read magazines here to get some knowledge about the fashion going on.
The verb 'see' is not appropriate when referring to reading magazines. The correct verb is 'read'. Also, 'the magazines' can be 'magazines' unless referring to specific ones.
× I don't think so. I don't even remember a single time I went to the library with my parents or when I was a child.
✓ I don't think so. I don't even remember a single time I went to a library with my parents or when I was a child.
When referring to any library in general, the indefinite article 'a' is appropriate. Using 'the library' implies a specific library, which may not be the case here.
× But yeah, when I was my 10th grade.
✓ But yeah, when I was in my 10th grade.
The preposition 'in' is required before 'my 10th grade' to indicate the time period or grade level. Omitting 'in' is incorrect.

✓ After that I started to go to the library 'cause I love to spend time there and also it is a quiet place which I like.
The phrase 'where I like that' is incorrect. It should be 'which I like' to properly refer to 'a quiet place'. Also, 'the library' is correct here as it refers to a specific library.
× They go 'cause they're going to library is a good thing.
✓ They go 'cause going to the library is a good thing.
The phrase 'going to library' requires the definite article 'the' before 'library' because it refers to the concept of going to the library in general. Also, 'they're going to library' is awkward; 'going to the library' is better.
