The Clarinet BBoard

I just joined a new community orchestra. I've played clarinet for years, but just returned to it last year after many years away.
My new orchestra is playing Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel. It is written for clarinet in Bb at the beginning, and then switches to clarinet in A. I do not have access to an A clarinet, nor have I ever played one!
My question:
Is it okay to just transpose the A part and play it on a Bb instrument? In that case, would I be lowering each note in the 'A' section by a single step (a semi-tone)?
That said, does anyone know where I could access this piece already transposed entirely for Bb clarinet to save myself the work???
Much thanks!
