Do you often go to the library?
考生
Not really, I usually never go to the library. I have a good set of books at my home. My father is a professor so he has a bunch of books at home. Also my mother likes to read at times so I do have an access to multiple range of genres of books. So I don't go to the library.

Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
考生
I did go to the school library when I was a kid. We had a fixed period every week so we all went to the library at least then, and the kids who were interested in reading more books went more often than that. I did not enjoy it as much since I was not an avid avid reader when I was younger, but now I do.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
考生
Well I'm not Chinese so I would not know that but as an Indian kid I do think Indians often go to libraries. Asian kids in general are known for being studious which I think is true. Parents do value their kids education so you do find many Asian kids going to libraries often and reading books.

× Not really, I usually never go to the library.
✓ Not really, I usually don't go to the library.
The phrase 'usually never' is contradictory and incorrect. 'Usually' implies frequency, while 'never' means not at all. The correct modal verb usage here is 'usually don't' to express that the action happens infrequently.
× I do have an access to multiple range of genres of books.
✓ I do have access to a wide range of genres of books.
The phrase 'an access' is incorrect because 'access' is an uncountable noun and does not take an article 'an'. Also, 'multiple range' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'a wide range' to express variety.
× Whenever I go to a library, I usually look around for different genres of books.
✓ Whenever I go to the library, I usually look around for different genres of books.
When referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener, the definite article 'the' should be used instead of 'a'.

✓ I wish to get acquainted with multiple genres that I have never seen or read about.
The contraction 'I've' is correct for 'I have'. No correction needed here; this sentence is grammatically correct.

The pronoun 'it' is incorrect when referring to multiple books; the correct pronoun is 'them'.
× I did go to the school library when I was a kid.
✓ I went to the school library when I was a kid.
Using 'did go' is grammatically correct but less natural in affirmative past tense sentences. The simple past 'went' is preferred.
× I did not enjoy it as much since I was not an avid avid reader when I was younger, but now I do.
✓ I did not enjoy it as much since I was not an avid reader when I was younger, but now I do.
The word 'avid' is repeated unnecessarily. Removing the duplicate improves clarity.
