Music and drama collection

What can you borrow?

The largest collection of music scores, play scripts and books on all aspects of music and drama is held at Nuneaton Library.

You may borrow single copies of music scores and play scripts free of charge for three weeks. Play sets, vocal sets, part-songs and orchestral sets are available to Warwickshire groups only - see Group membership below. We do not lend single copies from part-song sets, or individual parts from orchestral sets.

Specialist help and advice is available from the Music and Drama Librarian.

Individual membership

A request service for books, scores and plays. There is a charge for this service

You can collect from any Warwickshire library.

Group membership

If you represent a school or society in Warwickshire you may borrow sets of vocal scores, orchestral sets or play sets. There is normally a charge for this service. We allocate one ticket to your school or society and that ticket will be kept at Nuneaton Library for you.

Societies outside Warwickshire may borrow sets via the inter-library loan scheme. Please apply to your local library authority.

How long can you borrow for?

We normally lend vocal and orchestral sets for an agreed length of time to suit your rehearsal schedule and performance dates. Play sets can be borrowed for up to three months, renewable for one month.

The prompt return of vocal sets and play sets, helps the smooth running of the service for all our users.
