Moulton Community Library

Books, computers and a proper cup of tea - that's what you'll find at this community hub just outside Northampton. The library serves the village of Moulton and surrounding areas with a decent collection of novels, reference books and children's titles, plus free internet access for those catching up on emails during their holiday.

Families staying at nearby holiday parks like Billing Aquadrome or Sandy Hill Farm often pop in on rainy days. The children's section keeps younger ones occupied for a good hour, while parents can browse the local history collection or simply enjoy some peace with a newspaper. Staff are friendly and helpful with directions to local attractions too.

Open weekdays from 9am to 5pm, it's free to use - though you'll need proof of address to join if you want to borrow books. The building itself is modern and well-maintained, with proper parking outside. Not exactly a tourist attraction, but genuinely useful if you're staying in the area for more than a few days.

Honestly, it works best as a practical stop rather than a destination. Combined with a visit to nearby Sywell Country Park or a shopping trip into Northampton, it fills a gap nicely. The sort of place that reminds you why proper community facilities matter.
