The first public library in Sandgate was accommodated in the Chichester Hall until 1934, when it was transferred to the former Council Chamber above the Old Fire Station, where it remained until 1982.

James Morris Court bears the name of the one-time Governor of the Bank of England who lived in Encombe and was a generous benefactor of Sandgate.  

The Library was taken over to be run by the Sandgate Council in 2006 - and is now known as the Sandgate Council Library (and offices).
