In consideration of being allowed to engage in volunteer activities in the Fulton County Library System (“Library System”), I hereby
voluntarily execute this Volunteer Waiver for myself, or my minor child if applicable, under the following terms:
*I acknowledge and agree that I am volunteering my services to the Library System as a public service, on an as needed basis, and
that I am not an employee of the Library System and will receive no pay, benefits, or other privileges of employment of any kind for my

liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from my volunteer
service with the Library System, whether on Library System property, at an offsite event, pop-up libraries or similar sites in the
community, or traveling to and from such properties, events or sites, including but not limited to, bodily injury, personal injury, illness,
death, or property damage, incidental or consequential damages, punitive damages or special damages whether caused by the
