The Wirrabara Memorial Library commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War Two. 

Five stained glass windows incorporating a Cross of Sacrifice are set to the right of the main entrance. A bronze plaque is set in the base of each window listing the names of those who died. 

A plaque was added to the building at a later date to commemorate a soldier killed in the Vietnam War.
