No, not really. I'm not a person that actually likes to go to the library. Umm, I'm a person who doesn't actually read that much. However, reading isn't that bad and I know it has lots of good benefits, but I prefer something else. I'm not that type of person that likes to sit and read.

× I'm not that a big fan of reading.
✓ I'm not that big a fan of reading.
The phrase 'that a big fan' is incorrect because the article 'a' should not be used after 'that' in this context. The correct expression is 'that big a fan'. This is a common structure in English where 'that' is used as an intensifier before an adjective and a noun without an article between 'that' and the adjective.
× My dad used to put us in the library when he used to go to the work and we would go play in the computers there and read some books and to their.
✓ My dad used to take us to the library when he used to go to work and we would play on the computers there and read some books.
The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to going to a place; 'to' is the correct preposition. Also, 'go to the work' should be 'go to work' without 'the'. The phrase 'play in the computers' should be 'play on the computers' because we use 'on' with electronic devices. The phrase 'and to their' is incorrect and unnecessary, so it is removed. These corrections improve the naturalness and grammatical correctness of the sentence.
