It meanders north and west before receiving the Carnwath River and flowing north to Liverpool Bay, an arm of the Arctic , a Friends member who has coordinated several book sales. ``Then we took on the renaissance of the Newhall library, putting in new shelves and painting and landscaping. Now that it's done, we're moving on to replacing the old circulation desk here. The computers fall off. It's that old.'' ``Our sale is unique because our Friends group serves three libraries and a bookmobile,'' explained Anderson, as she and two other women lifted boxes of books in the community room of the Valencia library. ``Donations are still coming in, so we process them and get them out for the people coming to the pre-sale Friday.'' The Friends have been hosting book sales for at least 20 years. ``It started in Newhall, and we served tea and cookies,'' Anderson recalled. ``If we made $300 or $400, we were thrilled thrill v. thrilled, thrill·ing, thrills v.tr. 1.

The group used to do four-day sales that involved off-site gathering and sorting, but found space for the sorting was at a premium. Previously donated space disappeared when the real estate market picked up, and the volunteers realized that it was better to concentrate their efforts on accepting and sorting on-site in Valencia and Canyon Country.

Anderson said that some people come to the sale loaded with books they bought at the previous sale to donate to the cause, leaving with just as many, if not more, newly purchased books. ``There is a man who always brings back the mysteries he's read so we can sell them again,'' she said. ``And the romance novels have been recycled about 20 times. People bring in their lists because they can't remember which ones they've read.'' Most hardcover books are priced between $1 and $3, with some newer hardbacks and coffee table books going for as much as $20. Paperbacks are 50 cents each and romance novels are 10 cents. Videos, CDs and books on tape are also available, priced at $1. DVDs are $3 and magazines are available for 10 cents a copy. The Valencia library is located in the county center at the corner of Magic Mountain Parkway and Valencia Boulevard.
