× Actually, I don't go to library so often, but my wife often goes to the library near my home.
✓ Actually, I don't go to the library so often, but my wife often goes to the library near my home.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place. Omitting 'the' before 'library' is incorrect in this context.
× She likes to reading novels, so she often go there and rent a few kinds of books there.
✓ She likes to read novels, so she often goes there and rents a few kinds of books there.
After 'likes to', the base form of the verb should be used, not the '-ing' form. Also, 'she often go' should be 'she often goes' to agree with the third person singular subject.
× She likes to reading novels, so she often go there and rent a few kinds of books there.
✓ She likes to read novels, so she often goes there and rents a few kinds of books there.
For third person singular subjects like 'she', verbs in the present tense require an 's' or 'es' ending. Therefore, 'go' should be 'goes' and 'rent' should be 'rents'.
× I often went to the library in my town, which is about a 10 minute walk from my home.
✓ I often went to the library in my town, which is about a 10-minute walk from my home.
When using a compound adjective like '10-minute' before a noun, it should be hyphenated to clarify that it modifies 'walk'.
× I really enjoyed reading children's novels, especially populist like Harry Potter, because they sparked my imagination and made reading fun.
✓ I really enjoyed reading children's novels, especially popular ones like Harry Potter, because they sparked my imagination and made reading fun.
The word 'populist' is incorrect here; the correct adjective is 'popular'. Also, 'popular ones' is needed to refer to the novels.
× Additionally, the government has invested in modernizing liability.
✓ Additionally, the government has invested in modernizing libraries.
The word 'liability' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'libraries', which fits the topic of the sentence.
