Fall into Learning: Discover What’s New at the Ritzville Public Library

Hello! I’m Andrea Novoa, the Library Assistant II at the Ritzville Public Library. I joined the library in May and have appreciated meeting a lot of the community at our events or on a simple day-to-day basis. I am a certified book lover & proud to represent our community with my fellow librarians assisting patrons and offering beneficial resources. In my free time I love to read fun fantasy novels & bake sweet treats for family and friends. Especially with the fall season and the holidays coming up – it’s my favorite time of the year!

We are always aiming to better meet the needs of our patrons & serve our community, therefore we are excited to introduce 2 new databases we now provide – Gale Legal Forms & Miss Humblebee’s Academy. These are both fitted to serve members of varying ages, Gale Legal Forms provides easy access to numerous customizable legal documents while Miss Humblebee’s online early learning academy caters to preschool children.

Legal situations can arise when you least expect them whether it’s creating a lease agreement, writing a will, or starting a small business. But hiring an attorney isn’t always an option. Thankfully, your library offers a powerful tool to help: Gale Legal Forms. Available for free through our library’s digital resources, Gale Legal Forms provides access to legal documents, all professionally drafted and state specific. Within the database, you will find templated forms, an overview of what the forms are used for, information on legal terms, and more.  It provides a comprehensive look at various types of legal documents. Take the law into your own hands and create accurate, reliable legal documents with no hassle or stress with Gale Legal Forms—all from the comfort of your home or local library.

Miss Humblebee’s Academy is an interactive preschool program designed for children aged 2-6 to spark a love for learning. With a strong focus on kindergarten readiness, the curriculum blends fun and learning through engaging lessons in math, science, reading, art, and more. Developed by educators and aligned with state and national standards, Miss Humblebee’s Academy offers an ad-free environment that supports early childhood development—both online and offline. It makes learning fun and safe-anytime, anywhere. To help balance screen time, the off-line curriculum makes up 40 percent of the material. This curriculum includes lessons, extension activities, printables, and practice worksheets that help them move from gross motor skills to fine motor skills development.

Theres always something new to discover at your local library! Whether you're looking for your next favorite book, a quiet space to study, or fun events for all ages, the library has something for everyone. With free access to digital resources, knowledgeable staff, and a welcoming community, it's more than just a place for books—it's a hub for learning, connection, and inspiration.
