× No, I don't often go to the library now because I have access to digital library.
✓ No, I don't often go to the library now because I have access to a digital library.
The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before 'digital library'. In English, singular countable nouns usually require an article. Adding 'a' makes the sentence grammatically correct.
× However, I used to visit library frequently when I was a student since the Internet was not widely available then.
✓ However, I used to visit the library frequently when I was a student since the Internet was not widely available then.
The noun 'library' is a singular countable noun and requires the definite article 'the' when referring to a specific place known to both speaker and listener. Adding 'the' before 'library' corrects the sentence.
× Instead they prefer you, the Internet and digital libraries for their studies.
✓ Instead they prefer the Internet and digital libraries for their studies.
The pronoun 'you' is incorrectly used here; it does not fit the context. The sentence should list the resources children prefer, so 'you' should be removed to maintain clarity and correctness.
