The library holds individual scripts and full ‘play sets’ comprising approximately one copy per cast member. At any one time, borrowers are entitled to:

  • Up to nine (9) individual titles, and

Note: When loaning out sets, the library will retain at least  one individual copy.
The normal loan period is nine (9) weeks, renewable (once) for a further nine weeks where there is no demand from another borrower.
Return costs (postage and packing) are the responsibility of the borrower.
