Villanueva Library

The Villanueva Library, located in Los Alamos, NM, is a community-focused independent public library within the New Mexico State Library system. With a collection of over 8000 print items, a well-developed Children's Library, and free computer and internet access, the library is dedicated to providing access to information and knowledge to the local community. It also places a strong emphasis on preserving and showcasing the history and culture of the community and the surrounding region through its Southwest Collection.

Named after former New Mexico governor David Cargo, the Villanueva Library is one of several David Cargo libraries in the state. Governor Cargo's support for libraries and their mission has helped establish and promote rural community libraries in New Mexico. In addition to its commitment to serving the community, the library partners with the local Elementary School to bring library resources into the classroom, engaging students with reading, storytelling, and hands-on activities that support literacy skills. The library's Summer Reading Program is also a popular initiative, offering exciting presentations, activities, and graded level readings to keep kids engaged in reading during the summer months.
