Facilities and Services 

The functions and services offered by the Center  include an array of events, facilities, educational programs, and initiatives.

Annual Community Events

​We provide a range of community events throughout the year that serve the children, youth, adults, and seniors.  Flagship events include celebrations for Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, Mother's Day, and Easter. We also hold a yearly Back to School Drive and host several bingo nights each year.

Villanueva Library
​The Villanueva Library collection is housed in three separate spaces. The main library room features fiction and non-fiction, with a "hallway wing" for quickly grabbing another romance novel or mystery.  Our children's collection of over 4,000 books is housed in a dedicated children's library room that provides cozy reading nooks and educational games. Our popular and expanding Southwest Collection is migrating into  the front reading room for easy browsing and comfortable seating.
  
Tiendita
The Tiendita is a low cost resale shop located inside the Center that offers an  extensive collection of clothing, household supplies, and small furnishing items at very low cost.   

Computer Lab
The center offers free public computer use and wifi access. New laptops will soon be available for use throughout the building. We have seamless wifi inside, as well as an outside access point that is available 24/7.

Classes and Training
We offer a rotating schedule of classes, including computer skills, exercise, dance, seasonal walking groups, and more.  Computer and smartphone assistance available upon request.
To request a class or teach a class, just email or call the center. 


Community Kitchen
The Center offers a standard (non-commercial) kitchen space to community members for use. The kitchen may be rented in conjunction with the rental of the dining hall. Rental proceeds help support operational expenses.

Dining Hall 
Our newly remodeled dining hall offers a large facility with 8-10 tables and seating for up to 60. The hall can support large events and may be rented by community members.  Rental cost is $50 per event plus a refundable $50 deposit.

We Hope to See You Soon!
