Do Chinese kids often go to the library?

Well, in fact, I don't think Chinese kids often go to the library nowadays because, you know, Chinese students have very heavy study burden since we entered the primary school. So many people would like to let their children to spend time learning instead of reading.

× I often go to the library not only to borrow some books and do some reading, I also go there for some spaces to do self study.
✓ I often go to the library not only to borrow some books and do some reading, but I also go there for some space to do self-study.
The phrase 'for some spaces' is incorrect because 'space' in this context is an uncountable noun and should not be pluralized. Also, 'self study' should be hyphenated as 'self-study' when used as a noun. Additionally, the sentence structure needs 'but' to properly connect the two clauses in the 'not only... but also' construction.
× If I go to the library with my friends, I'd like to study with them and we can.
✓ If I go to the library with my friends, I'd like to study with them and we can correct each other's answers efficiently.
The original sentence ends abruptly and lacks the object of 'can'. The phrase 'we can' needs to be completed with the action 'correct each other's answers efficiently' to make the sentence grammatically complete and clear.
× It cultivated my habits of reading and literature.
✓ It cultivated my habit of reading and love for literature.
The phrase 'habits of reading and literature' is awkward and incorrect. 'Habit' should be singular when referring to a general practice, and 'love for literature' is a more natural expression than 'habits of literature.' This correction improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× So many people would like to let their children to spend time learning instead of reading.
✓ So many people would like to let their children spend time learning instead of reading.
The verb 'let' is followed directly by the base form of the verb without 'to'. Therefore, 'let their children to spend' is incorrect; it should be 'let their children spend'.
