The phrase 'go to library' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'library'. In English, when referring to a specific place like 'library' in this context, the definite article 'the' is required. Also, using 'because' repeatedly in one sentence can be improved by replacing some with 'as' for better flow.
× When I used to visit my school library in my 8th grade, I used to read comedy in novels or books because I'm really not interested in books.
✓ When I used to visit my school library in my 8th grade, I used to read comedy novels or books because I was really not interested in books.
The phrase 'I'm really not interested in books' is in present tense, but the sentence refers to a past time ('used to visit'). Therefore, the verb should be in past tense 'I was really not interested in books' to maintain tense consistency.
× Yes, I used to visit my school library and my childhood and I used to read Barbie novels or Cinderella because I used to love artifacts.
✓ Yes, I used to visit my school library during my childhood and I used to read Barbie novels or Cinderella because I used to love artifacts.
The phrase 'and my childhood' is incorrect. The correct preposition to indicate a time period is 'during'. So, it should be 'during my childhood'. This clarifies the time frame of the visits to the library.

✓ Yes, Chinese kids usually go to the library to gain knowledge and learn new words from reading books because they believe that reading books gives us knowledge and improves our vocabulary.
The sentence incorrectly mixes singular and plural forms. 'A Chinese kid usually go' is wrong because 'kid' is singular and 'go' should be 'goes' for third person singular. Alternatively, making both plural as 'Chinese kids usually go' is better here. Also, 'reading the books' is better as 'reading books' to generalize the statement.
