Did you go to the library when you were a kid?

Unfortunately, I did not go to the library a lot as a kid. It is because both my parents worked in nine to five job and were significantly busy to take me to the library. So I would often borrow a book from a friend and read inside the house.

× I go to the library every day after my school to finish as much as homework as possible.
✓ I go to the library every day after my school to finish as much homework as possible.
The phrase 'as much as homework as possible' is incorrect because 'homework' is an uncountable noun and does not require 'as' after 'much'. The correct phrase is 'as much homework as possible'. Removing the extra 'as' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× I personally believe libraries significantly enhances my productivity while at home.
✓ I personally believe libraries significantly enhance my productivity while at home.
The subject 'libraries' is plural, so the verb should be 'enhance' instead of 'enhances' to agree in number. Using 'enhances' is incorrect because it is singular form.
× I just prefer to snuggle myself in a blanket and watch movies.
✓ I just prefer to snuggle myself under a blanket and watch movies.
The correct preposition to use with 'snuggle' and 'blanket' is 'under' rather than 'in'. 'Snuggle under a blanket' is the standard expression meaning to wrap oneself with a blanket for warmth or comfort.
× Libraries are a great place to study effectively because you're surrounded with people who are working there.
✓ Libraries are a great place to study effectively because you're surrounded by people who are working there.
The correct preposition after 'surrounded' is 'by', not 'with'. 'Surrounded by' indicates being enclosed or encircled by something or someone.
× If I'm productive and I finish my work soon, I tend to visit the contemporary books collection or the classical literature books. Sit in the corner near the window and spend around 20-30 minutes reading.
✓ If I'm productive and I finish my work soon, I tend to visit the contemporary books collection or the classical literature books, sit in the corner near the window, and spend around 20-30 minutes reading.
The second sentence 'Sit in the corner...' is a fragment lacking a subject. It should be connected to the previous sentence with commas and conjunctions to form a complete sentence with a subject 'I' implied.
× It is because both my parents worked in nine to five job and were significantly busy to take me to the library.
✓ It is because both my parents worked in a nine to five job and were significantly busy to take me to the library.
The phrase 'worked in nine to five job' is missing the article 'a' before 'nine to five job'. Also, 'nine to five job' is singular, so it needs the indefinite article 'a'.
× So I would often borrow a book from a friend and read inside the house.
✓ So I would often borrow a book from a friend and read inside the house.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no correction needed.

The phrase 'their kids education' is missing the possessive apostrophe; it should be 'their kids' education'. Also, there are repeated words 'they they' and 'can can' which are typographical errors and should be corrected to single words 'they' and 'can'. The last sentence is incomplete but no grammatical correction can be made without more context.
