Do you often go to the library?
考生
No, I rarely visit libraries. I usually read ebooks or buy a book in a book shop. Libraries are not so popular in my town, especially among adults. But when I was a kid I used to visit the library quite often, but not anymore unfortunately.

What do you usually do in the library?

As I said before, I rarely visit libraries, though if I go there, I prefer taking my laptop and spending some time and working in a quiet place among people. It gives me a sense of community and something else.

Do Chinese kids often go to the library?
考生
I mean, I'm not Chinese, but I can just assume that, uh, they go to the libraries the same number of times as the other kids do. So they probably visit it quite often when they're young and less and less, uh, often when they're older.

× I usually read ebooks or buy a book in a book shop.
✓ I usually read ebooks or buy a book at a book shop.
The preposition 'at' is more appropriate when referring to a specific location like a book shop. 'In' suggests being inside, but 'at' is commonly used to indicate the place where an action occurs.
× I prefer taking my laptop and spending some time and working in a quiet place among people.
✓ I prefer taking my laptop and spending some time working in a quiet place among people.
The phrase 'spending some time and working' is awkward; 'spending some time working' is the correct form. Also, 'and' is unnecessary here because 'spending time working' is a single activity.
× So they probably visit it quite often when they're young and less and less, uh, often when they're older.
✓ So they probably visit it quite often when they're young and less and less often when they're older.
The phrase 'less and less, uh, often' is awkward due to the comma and filler word. Removing the comma and filler improves fluency and clarity.
