Antrim Library

Antrim Library sits right in the town centre and functions as far more than just a place to borrow books. The building itself is modern and well-maintained, with decent wifi and comfortable reading spaces - handy if you've pitched up at Six Mile Water or Blair's Castlewood nearby and need a few hours indoors on a drizzly day.

What you'll actually find here depends what you're after. There's a solid local history section covering Antrim's past, which matters if you're interested in the town beyond the caravan parks. The children's area keeps younger ones occupied for an hour or so with age-appropriate books and activities. Computing facilities are available if you need to sort logistics or emails during your stay. Free wifi makes it an acceptable alternative to hunting for a cafe.

It's not a destination attraction - don't expect to build a day around it. But for families with school-age kids looking for a change of pace, or history enthusiasts wanting to dig into local records, it's worth knowing about. Opens at half nine most days, though Tuesday doesn't start until half twelve. You won't need more than an hour unless you're genuinely researching something specific.

The real value comes as part of a longer park stay. Combine it with a walk into Antrim town itself, grab lunch somewhere nearby, then head back to the caravan for the afternoon. It breaks up the routine without much effort. Free entry makes that calculation easier.
