× Yes, I often go to library when I have my free periods or also in my weekends because library is my safe place.
✓ Yes, I often go to the library when I have my free periods or also on my weekends because the library is my safe place.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Also, 'in my weekends' should be 'on my weekends' because we use 'on' with days and parts of days.
× Yes, I often go to library when I have my free periods or also in my weekends because library is my safe place.
✓ Yes, I often go to the library when I have my free periods or also on my weekends because the library is my safe place.

× I enjoy studying there in the quiet environment, which makes me feel more peaceful and makes me concentrate more on my work.
✓ I enjoy studying there in a quiet environment, which makes me feel more peaceful and helps me concentrate more on my work.
The phrase 'the quiet environment' implies a specific environment already known, but here it is general, so 'a quiet environment' is more appropriate. Also, 'makes me concentrate' is better expressed as 'helps me concentrate' for naturalness.
× Usually I study for my upcoming taste and also do my daily homework because I don't feel distracted when I'm studying in library.
✓ Usually I study for my upcoming test and also do my daily homework because I don't feel distracted when I'm studying in the library.
'Taste' is a typo and should be 'test'. Also, 'in library' requires the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific place.

'Library' requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Also, 'as I was a kid' is better expressed as 'when I was a kid' for clarity. Additionally, 'usually spend' with 'since I was a kid' is inconsistent; past tense 'spent' fits better.
