Housed at the ABA's office, the lending library is available for use in person at #206 10612-124 Street or via telephone and internet. Included in the library are predominantly concert band titles, but some stage band scores, band method, recordings, and other teaching assistants are also available.
A movable track storage system assists in making access simple, allows for expandability and at the same time reduces damage to the scores.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by phone at (780) 488.2263, or toll free at 1.877.687.4239.
