× Uh, when I am in a library I like, I'd like to roaming across all those shelves and checking if there are any new books on the shelves and, uh, anything, any books, uh, uh, attracted to me.
✓ Uh, when I am in a library I like, I'd like to roam across all those shelves and check if there are any new books on the shelves and, uh, anything, any books, uh, uh, that attract me.
The verb 'roaming' is incorrectly used after 'I'd like to'. After 'would like to', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. Similarly, 'checking' should be 'check' to maintain parallel structure. Also, 'attracted to me' is incorrect; the correct form is 'that attract me' to describe books that draw attention.
× ...and, uh, anything, any books, uh, uh, attracted to me.
✓ ...and, uh, anything, any books, uh, uh, that attract me.
The phrase 'attracted to me' is a past participle phrase incorrectly used here. The intended meaning is that the books attract the speaker, so the relative clause 'that attract me' is appropriate.
