IMSLP is essential for public domain classical works by Mozart, Weber, and Brahms. 8notes and free-scores.com also have solid free clarinet libraries across multiple genres.

How does clarinet transposition work?

The standard Bb clarinet sounds a major second lower than written, so when you play a written C, it sounds as a concert Bb.

Many digital platforms like Musicnotes include automatic transposition tools to simplify this process.
