Lower Hutt War Memorial Library, Public library in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.

The Lower Hutt War Memorial Library is a public library serving Lower Hutt and operates as a central branch of the Hutt City Libraries network. The building houses books, digital materials, computers, study areas, and meeting rooms for community use.

Built between 1952 and 1956, the building marks a shift in how New Zealand remembered World War II. After the war, commemorations moved away from traditional monuments toward practical community facilities.

Three murals by Leonard Mitchell hang in the library: 'Their Sacrifice', 'Preserved Freedom' and 'Human Endeavour'. Their titles tie the building's memorial purpose to the library's everyday use, and the works are among the features that make the interior recognisable.

The library is located at the corner of Queens Drive and Woburn Road, making it straightforward to find. Extended hours on Wednesdays until 8:30 PM provide additional flexibility for working visitors.

Ron Muston designed St James's Church, which opened in 1953, and was then commissioned to design the library in a style complementary to it; he did not design both buildings. The library opened in 1956 at a cost of NZ£200,000, double its initial estimate.
