About Us

Our stock

The Performing Arts service supplies vocal scores, orchestral sets and play sets to organisations throughout Hertfordshire and beyond. The collections comprise over 60,000 vocal scores, 1,400 orchestral sets and 17,000 play copies. Membership is free, with charges for set hire. Music and play sets can be reserved, collected, and returned at any of our 46 public libraries across Hertfordshire.

Hertfordshire library customers can also borrow a wide range of music, books and plays on their library cards, and all our stock is available to be viewed in our Performing Arts Showroom, open 6 days a week.
