Not really, because I prefer to read online through ebooks or maybe through online articles. I like it. I prefer it more convenient because I don't have to go anywhere to search a book related to what I'm looking for the information.

I'm not much aware about this, but as much as I know the teachers there take the kids to the libraries more often because they want them to be more focused on on studies rather than phones or social media.

× Whenever I go to library, I try to find a book like novel and read it in a quiet place.
✓ Whenever I go to the library, I try to find a book like a novel and read it in a quiet place.
The definite article 'the' is required before 'library' because it refers to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Also, 'a' is needed before 'novel' as it is a singular countable noun and the sentence refers to any novel, not a specific one.
× Yes, I used to go in library when I was a kid.
✓ Yes, I used to go to the library when I was a kid.
The phrase 'go in library' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'to' when referring to going to a place. Also, 'the' is needed before 'library' as it is a specific place.
× Actually we used to have libraries, uh, in our, uh, school.
✓ Actually, we used to have libraries in our school.
No article is needed before 'school' when referring to the institution in general. The sentence is correct without 'the' here.
× So our teachers used to take us to the library to read whatever books we, uh, we like.
✓ So our teachers used to take us to the library to read whatever books we like.
The sentence is correct with 'the library' because it refers to a specific library. The repeated 'we' is unnecessary and removed for clarity.
× I used to pick, pick up cartoon characters or magazine, uh, at that time.
✓ I used to pick up cartoon characters or magazines at that time.
The noun 'magazine' should be plural 'magazines' to match the plural 'cartoon characters' and to indicate multiple items. Also, the repeated 'pick' is redundant and removed.
