How many times have you been asked to help a library patron download/print a legal form, only to hit a paywall? While many sites advertise legal forms, few of them offer any for free. (And can patrons even trust the ones that are free??)
Fortunately, Gale Legal Forms provides FREE, TRUSTWORTHY forms specifically for Pennsylvania residents.
What forms can you find?
Wills
Affidavits
Rental Agreements/Leases
Contracts of Sale
Healthcare Directives
Power of Attorney
Divorce
Invoice Templates
and so much more!
You don’t have to have a law degree to know where to find trusted forms! Gale is your go-to for US Legal Forms.
Legal resources are often expensive and complex. Luckily, we have access to Gale Legal Forms. This database makes it simple to find legal forms for many of life’s milestones and business situations. They offer real estate, leases, corporations, employment, wills, sale of property, loans & financing and other business forms.
Of course, they have forms for common agreements, such as landlord/tenant leasing agreements (even tenant applications!), but the forms can get very specific to cover unique situations, such as Cohabitation and Nonmarital Agreement between Parties Living Together but Remaining Unmarried with Joint Purchase of Real Estate.
There are forms for all business types and side hustles. Some examples:
Independent Contractor Agreement with Massage Therapist
Pet Sitting Agreement with Pet Sitter – Self-Employed
Hair Salon Booth or Chair Rental Agreement
Website Design Agreement
Chances are if you’re entering into an agreement of any kind, you can be sure that Gale Legal Forms has a form for you.
OverDrive recently released an update regarding required digital lending model changes for The Economist in the OverDrive Magazines Collection.
According to the update, the new requirements would restrict lending period access to only 24-hours and prohibit a reader who wants to access the same issue from borrowing it again remotely. For a reader to continue access to the issue, they must visit the library to renew access.
OverDrive has decided not to implement this new lending model. As a result, all editions of The Economist will be removed from OverDrive Magazine collections effective February 1, 2023. The last issue available for readers to borrow will be January 28, 2023. All back issues will also be removed from collections on February 1.
While this news will come as a disappointment for many library users, OverDrive continues to add new magazines to the collection regularly, including most recently, Fortune. Additionally, Allegheny County Library patrons have access to nearly 100 popular and in-demand digital magazine titles with the hoopla Magazine BingePass collection.
