Opened in 1963 the public areas of the library are housed in the octagonal building and the link between it and the tower. The tower just straddles the northern edge of the square and holds the reserve stock. Kent County Library started its existence in the cellar of nearby Springfield Mansion http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/179234
