Little Common Library

The Little Common Library sits quietly in Sussex, a proper community hub that's worth a stop if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks around Bexhill-on-Sea. It's a small, friendly space - the kind of place where the staff actually know what they're talking about and locals pop in regularly for their fix of new reads.

You'll find the usual: books, DVDs, CDs, public computers if you need internet access. Nothing flashy, but it does what it says on the tin. Free admission, which is decent, and the hours are limited - Tuesday mornings and Friday mornings only - so check ahead before you trek over. Allow 30 minutes to an hour if you're a casual browser, less if you know exactly what you want.

Families with kids will find the children's section reasonable enough for a quiet afternoon activity. If you're staying at Park Holidays UK just 2.2 miles away or any of the surrounding caravan sites like Combe Haven or Normans Bay, it's worth knowing about for those rainy Sussex days when you need a change of scene. Don't expect a sprawling, impressive library - it's modest and local, which is rather the point. Useful rather than exciting, but solid value when it's raining and you're in the area.
