× Me and my friends often go to the library.
✓ My friends and I often go to the library.
The pronoun 'Me' is incorrectly used as the subject of the sentence. The correct subject pronoun is 'I'. Also, it is polite to mention oneself last in a list, so 'My friends and I' is preferred.
× In the library, I love to reading books, that kind of fantasy books, and me and my friends are discussing about this.
✓ In the library, I love to read books, that kind of fantasy books, and my friends and I discuss this.
The verb 'love' should be followed by the base form 'to read', not 'to reading'. Also, 'me and my friends' should be 'my friends and I' as the subject. The phrase 'are discussing about this' is incorrect; 'discuss' does not require 'about' and the present simple 'discuss' fits better here.
× Yeah, when I was a kid, I often go to the library because I love reading books, fantasy, romance and also Shakespeare novels.
✓ Yeah, when I was a kid, I often went to the library because I loved reading books, fantasy, romance and also Shakespeare novels.
The sentence refers to past time ('when I was a kid'), so verbs should be in the past tense: 'go' should be 'went' and 'love' should be 'loved'.
× I'm not sure if Chinese kids go to library, but I think we love reading books because it is so special.
✓ I'm not sure if Chinese kids go to the library, but I think we love reading books because it is so special.
The phrase 'go to library' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library'. The correct phrase is 'go to the library'.
