Lower Hutt War Memorial Library, Public library in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
The Lower Hutt War Memorial Library stands at the intersection of Queens Drive and Woburn Road, functioning as a central branch of Hutt City Libraries.
The library, constructed between 1952 and 1956, represents a shift from traditional war memorials to functional community buildings following World War II in New Zealand.
Leonard Mitchell created three substantial canvas murals within the library, depicting themes of sacrifice, freedom, and human accomplishments through life-sized figures.
The facility provides access to books, digital media, computers, study areas, and meeting spaces, with extended hours on Wednesdays until 8:30 PM.
The library forms part of a carefully planned civic complex alongside St James's Church, designed by Ron Muston to ensure architectural harmony between both structures.
