Very often I go to the library all the time. Almost all the time. Especially when I was in secondary school, my first circle, I was always in the library because it was a place where I find it. I find me focusing more, like taking my mind off distractions and try to.

Well, I don't really know much about that, but in my opinion I think they do because probably they try to learn other languages and they go there to find dictionaries that suits their different needs, maybe trying to learn English and maybe they tend to go there to.

× I go to the library just few times in a week, like 3 times in a week because I mostly read online articles.
✓ I go to the library just a few times in a week, like 3 times in a week because I mostly read online articles.
The phrase 'few times' needs an article 'a' before it to be grammatically correct. 'A few' means some, while 'few' without 'a' implies almost none. Here, 'a few times' correctly indicates several occasions.
× I feel like I get more information online because I don't have all the time to always.
✓ I feel like I get more information online because I don't always have the time.
The phrase 'I don't have all the time to always' is awkward and incorrect. The adverb 'always' should be placed before the verb 'have' to correctly express frequency: 'I don't always have the time.'
× Well, one of the things I always do in the library each time I get the opportunity to visit one, because I don't mostly go there like during the week, I have many other activities.
✓ Well, one of the things I always do in the library each time I get the opportunity to visit it, because I don't mostly go there during the week; I have many other activities.
The pronoun 'one' is incorrectly used to refer to 'library'; it should be 'it' as 'library' is singular and non-countable here. Also, 'like' is unnecessary and should be removed for clarity.
× So one of the things I go or one of the things I do whenever I go there is to relax and read different novels.
✓ So one of the things I do whenever I go there is to relax and read different novels.
The phrase 'I go or one of the things I do' is redundant and confusing. Removing 'I go or' clarifies the sentence and maintains grammatical correctness.
× Very often I go to the library all the time.
✓ Very often I went to the library all the time.
The question is about past habits ('Did you go to the library when you were a kid?'), so the verb should be in the past tense 'went' instead of present tense 'go'.
× Especially when I was in secondary school, my first circle, I was always in the library because it was a place where I find it.
✓ Especially when I was in secondary school, my first circle, I was always in the library because it was a place where I found it.
The verb 'find' should be in the past tense 'found' to match the past time frame indicated by 'was' and 'when I was in secondary school.'
× I find me focusing more, like taking my mind off distractions and try to.
✓ I found myself focusing more, like taking my mind off distractions and trying to concentrate.
The phrase 'I find me focusing' is incorrect; the reflexive pronoun 'myself' should be used. Also, the sentence is incomplete and lacks a proper ending; adding 'trying to concentrate' completes the thought.
× Well, I don't really know much about that, but in my opinion I think they do because probably they try to learn other languages and they go there to find dictionaries that suits their different needs, maybe trying to learn English and maybe they tend to go there to.
✓ Well, I don't really know much about that, but in my opinion I think they do because probably they try to learn other languages and they go there to find dictionaries that suit their different needs, maybe trying to learn English and maybe they tend to go there too.
The verb 'suits' should be 'suit' to agree with the plural noun 'dictionaries.' Also, 'to' at the end is incomplete and should be 'too' to indicate 'also.'
