"ni"「に」 or "he"「へ」 (pronounced "e"). The main verb is 「行く」 (iku). "I went to the library."

Also, when writing in romaji, particles (ha/wa, ga, wo/o, ni, de, he/e, etc.) should generally be separated from other words to avoid ambiguity.

(i.e."shinbun o" is clearer than "shinbuno")

「しょ」 is written as either "sho" (Hepburn romanization) or "syo" (Kunrei-shiki romanization) Not "shyo".

Of course, learning in romaji is mostly counterproductive anyway.
