Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
No, I don't go to the library when I was a kid. That's because my parents used to buy a lot of the books and bring them at home, so I didn't need to go there. Plus there wasn't any library close to my home, so that was pretty inconvenient for me.

× No, I don't go to the library very often because they're primarily there isn't any library close to my home, so it becomes difficult for me to visit frequently.
✓ No, I don't go to the library very often because there isn't any library close to my home, so it becomes difficult for me to visit frequently.
The phrase 'they're primarily there isn't any library' is incorrect. The correct form is 'there isn't any library' to indicate the absence of a library near the home. 'There be' issue refers to incorrect use of 'there is/are' constructions.
× Secondly, I used to use online resources which I find.
✓ Secondly, I used to use online resources which I found useful.
The sentence is incomplete and mixes past and present tense improperly. Since 'used to' indicates past habit, the relative clause should also be in past tense or completed properly. Adding 'useful' clarifies the meaning and corrects tense usage.
× No, I don't go to the library when I was a kid.
✓ No, I didn't go to the library when I was a kid.
The sentence incorrectly uses present tense 'don't go' with a past time reference 'when I was a kid'. The verb should be in past tense 'didn't go' to match the past time frame.
× That's because my parents used to buy a lot of the books and bring them at home, so I didn't need to go there.
✓ That's because my parents used to buy a lot of books and bring them home, so I didn't need to go there.
The preposition 'at' is incorrectly used with 'bring them at home'. The correct preposition is omitted: 'bring them home'. Also, 'a lot of the books' is better as 'a lot of books' unless referring to specific books.
