× When I go to the library, I usually read my favorite science fiction books and maybe some magazine.
✓ When I go to the library, I usually read my favorite science fiction books and maybe some magazines.
The error is using the singular 'some magazine' with 'some', which typically pairs with plural countable nouns. Use the plural 'magazines' because you mean an unspecified number of magazines. Suggestion: use 'some magazines' or 'a magazine' depending on whether you mean more than one or just one.
× I used to go to the library, in particular one located near my school.
✓ I used to go to the library, in particular the one located near my school.
The original lacks the definite article before 'one' which makes the noun phrase awkward. Use 'the one' to refer to a specific library previously mentioned. Suggestion: include 'the' to specify which library.
× I usually went with my friends and we spent a lot of time looking for new authors and books.
✓ I usually went with my friends and we spent a lot of time looking for new authors and new books.
This is a minor clarity issue rather than strict grammar, but pairing 'new authors and books' can be clearer if parallel: 'new authors and new books.' Keep adjectives parallel for clarity. Suggestion: repeat 'new' or restructure the sentence.
× I guess Chinese kids are similar to other kids of other part of the world, so I suppose they go to the library and spend time there with friends looking for new books, reading and sharing quality time.
✓ I guess Chinese kids are similar to kids from other parts of the world, so I suppose they go to the library and spend time there with friends looking for new books, reading, and sharing quality time.
Errors: 'other kids of other part of the world' is ungrammatical. Use the preposition 'from' with 'parts of the world' and plural 'parts'. Also add Oxford comma for clarity and parallel gerunds: 'looking for new books, reading, and sharing'. Suggestion: use 'kids from other parts of the world' and keep parallel list items.
