I used to be a frequent library visitor when I was at school and at university. This is still toward the ease of access. I found the library to offer so much solely tools and focus, as well as access to the abundance of information. However, these days it's difficult to access.

When younger, my parents would frequently take me and my sibling to the library because they wanted to encourage us to instill the reading habits when we were kids. And there we would go and enjoy light novels, award-winning comics or books, or even just spend time in solitude together.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
Candidato
I find that today's young adults as well as the younger generation face less emphasis on going to the library as well as the interest in reading, and so these days I would say children would enjoy other leisure activities more.

× This is still toward the ease of access.
✓ This is still due to the ease of access.
The phrase 'toward the ease of access' is incorrect because 'toward' is not the appropriate preposition to indicate cause or reason. The correct preposition here is 'due to' which expresses the reason for something.
× I found the library to offer so much solely tools and focus, as well as access to the abundance of information.
✓ I found the library to offer so many tools and focus, as well as access to an abundance of information.
The word 'tools' is countable and plural, so it should be preceded by 'many' instead of 'much'. Also, 'the abundance of information' should be 'an abundance of information' because 'abundance' is a singular countable noun here and requires an article 'an'.
× However, these days it's difficult to access.
✓ However, these days it's difficult to access the library.
The sentence is incomplete because the object of 'access' is missing. 'Access' is a transitive verb and requires an object, so 'the library' should be added to clarify what is difficult to access.
× When I was younger, umm I would normally read novel, umm, award-winning books as well as comics at the library.
✓ When I was younger, umm I would normally read novels, umm, award-winning books as well as comics at the library.
The word 'novel' is countable and plural here because it refers to multiple books, so it should be 'novels' instead of 'novel'.
× But these days, now that I'm older, I usually umm would go there to appreciate the quiet ambience where I find the ease of concentration umm, and there I would focus on my assignment.
✓ But these days, now that I'm older, I usually go there to appreciate the quiet ambience where I find it easy to concentrate, umm, and there I focus on my assignment.
The phrase 'usually would go' is redundant because 'usually' already indicates habitual action, so 'would' is unnecessary. Also, 'find the ease of concentration' is awkward; the correct expression is 'find it easy to concentrate'. Additionally, 'would focus' is better as 'focus' to maintain present habitual tense.
× When younger, my parents would frequently take me and my sibling to the library because they wanted to encourage us to instill the reading habits when we were kids.
✓ When younger, my parents would frequently take me and my siblings to the library because they wanted to encourage us to instil reading habits when we were kids.
The word 'sibling' should be plural 'siblings' if referring to more than one brother or sister. Also, 'instill the reading habits' is incorrect; 'instil reading habits' is the correct phrase without 'the'.
× And there we would go and enjoy light novels, award-winning comics or books, or even just spend time in solitude together.
✓ And there we would go and enjoy light novels, award-winning comics or books, or even just spend time together in solitude.
The phrase 'in solitude together' is awkward because 'solitude' implies being alone. The correct phrase is 'spend time together in solitude' to indicate being together but in a quiet or reflective manner.
× I find that today's young adults as well as the younger generation face less emphasis on going to the library as well as the interest in reading, and so these days I would say children would enjoy other leisure activities more.
✓ I find that today's young adults as well as the younger generation face less emphasis on going to the library as well as less interest in reading, and so these days I would say children enjoy other leisure activities more.
The phrase 'face less emphasis on going to the library as well as the interest in reading' is incorrect because 'less' should modify both 'emphasis' and 'interest'. Also, 'would enjoy' is better as 'enjoy' to express a general truth or current trend.
