library

I'm now in the library in town studying, which I'm inclined to do so as I'm uncapable of studying at home for focusing issues. I think being surrounded by strangers who are also studying in a public place is to me an almost necessary condition for keeping myself disciplined to focus on studying. The calm and spacious atmosphere of the library is pleasant and the smell of the books is my favorite part of it. But the thing is, the books can be a distraction because every time I walk through bookshelves, I find an interesting book and get the urge to pick it up to start reading.

Corrections

I'm now in the library in town studying, which I'm inclined to do so as I'm uincapable of studying at home for focusing issuesbecause it's hard to focus there.

General advice: English likes verbs more than nouns, so "because it's hard to focus there" sounds more natural than "for focusing issues." Another point: when "for" is used to express cause, "for" must be followed by a complete sentence, as in "for I cannot focus at home." The correct way to say what you wanted to say originally is "because of focusing issues," although this doesn't sound quite natural.

Very good!

"Now" isn't wrong here, but it adds a nuance that something else was going on I feel.
ex: I was planning on heading out but now it's too late

for -> due to: "For" can technically be used to express a cause ("the trip was delayed for weather reasons"), but it more tends to mark a goal ("I'm taking classes for creating writing") and so even in my weather example it implies someone made the decision to cancel the trip more than just expressing causation.

I think bBeing surrounded by strangers who are also studying in a public place is to me an almost necessary condition for keeping myself disciplined enough to focus on studying.

Again, "I think" is fine, but the sentence is already clearly an opinion.

disciplined enough to: "to" in a form like "<description> to <result>" generally expresses something like "it's such a degree (程度) that <result> can happen," but English adjectives don't express a degree on their own so it felt wrong to me without "enough"
Examples
It's *too* cold to swim.
It's *too* hot to eat.
It's cooled down *enough* to eat.

The calm and spacious atmosphere of the library is pleasant and the smell of the books is my favorite part of it.

this sentence feels a little stuffy but I'm not going to trim it

I think being surrounded by strangers who are also studying in a public place is, to me, an almost necessary condition for keeping myself disciplined to focused on studying.

I'm not sure if discipline is the word you're looking for here, the sentence still makes sense as I've edited though.

The calm and, spacious atmosphere of the library is pleasant and the smell of the books is my favorite part of it.

you can connect repeated adjectives without an and.

But the thing isUnfortunately, the books can be a distraction because every time I walk through bookshelves, I find an interesting book and get the urge to pick it up to start reading.

This is not a correction so much as an offer for a replacement, "the thing is" sounds incredibly casual. It sticks out a little.

This sentence also is probably best as gek sentences.
