Off shelf is a new charge for customers who come into Gloucester Library and select for themselves from the shelf. This has previously been free but the processing of music sets is labour intensive as staff are required to check that all copies are complete and that any marks on the scores have been removed. It also reflects the high cost of buying music sets. The charge is half the cost customers who reserve a music set pay.
