Te Pātaka Kōrero o Te Tatau ki te Māramatanga | War Memorial Library

The War Memorial Library commemorates the residents of Lower Hutt who gave their lives in the Second World War. The building features a memorial lobby and three impressive murals by Wellington artist Leonard Mitchell: entitled 'Their Sacrifice,' 'Preserved Freedom,' and 'Human Endeavour.'

The library provides access to print and digital books, audiobooks, newspapers, magazines, and DVDs. Many online resources are accessible free for borrowers with a library card, including Generosity NZ for funding applications, Ancestry.com for family history research and Beamafilm for streaming movies and documentaries.

The library runs events for all ages, including story-time, book groups, author and heritage talks, regular fun events for tamariki and their whānau, school holiday activities, computer classes and JP clinics.
