I’ve always just downloaded songs to my own library but I’d like to know what the advantages of Apple Music are? Do I lose my own library? If I download songs and then later end the membership do I lose the new songs I downloaded, or is that even how it works? Sorry, I’m just unfamiliar with it!

You do not lose your own library, if you download songs from the Apple Music site and cancel the membership you do lose them, any songs you purchase from the iTunes Music Store you keep.
