人々をライブラリで見なかった。

Is this the correct way of writing 'I did not see people in the library'? I'm
not 100% with the particles but 'wo' seems right attached to people.

I use ライブラリ just for the sake of attaching a location.

Correct way of saying 'I did not see people in the library'
Natural ways to say it would be:

> 「[図書館]{としょかん}で人を(or は)見かけなかった。」
>
> 「図書館では、ほとんど人を(or は)見かけなかった。」

見かける ＞ 見る

「見る」 is not incorrect, but 「見かける」 is the more natural word choice.

Basically, no one would say 「ライブラリー」 to refer to a public library. The word is
「図書館」.

「人々」 sounds "translated". 「人」 is the word to use here.
