New additions to the Villanueva Library
​The Villanueva Library is an official developing library within the New Mexico State Library system and is moving towards becoming one of over 100 independent public libraries in the state of New Mexico. The Library is committed to serving the community by providing increased access to information and knowledge, and to the opportunities these bring. In coordination with the El Valle Community Center, the library also shares a strong commitment to collecting, preserving, and showcasing local history and culture of and for the community and the larger region. 
The Villanueva Library is one of several "David Cargo" libraries within the state of New Mexico. These libraries bear the name of former New Mexico governor David Cargo, whose support for libraries and their mission provided start-up assistance for several  rural community libraries within the state. Mr. Cargo served in the New Mexico House of Representatives and later as governor of the state. In addition to establishing and promoting libraries in remote rural regions, Cargo also established the New Mexico state film commission.
