NewSPAL’s collection is available for hire by any individual (chamber, sheet, scores and books) or anywhere in the UK by groups (drama or music sets). Browsing of the catalogues, whether online or in person at the Library, is free.
We have two separate catalogues.
The Sets catalogue is for drama and music groups wishing to borrow multiple copies of the same item and for orchestral/band sets.
The Individual items catalogue holds our extensive range of chamber music, song collections, instrument tutors, full and miniature scores, drama anthologies, and a huge variety of books on the performing arts.
