I declare the above information to be true and complete and authorize the Hamilton Public Library to solicit references from those named above.

I understand that all Visiting Library Service Volunteers are required to provide a Police Vulnerable Sector Check (PVSC), dated within the past twelve (12) months prior to starting. I understand that all other volunteers ages eighteen (18) and older are required to provide a Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check, dated within the past twelve (12) months, within the first thirty (30) days of volunteering with any other volunteer program at the Hamilton Public Library. The Hamilton Public Library will reimburse the cost of the Police Check upon completion of three (3) months of volunteer service and the submission of the original receipt.

I understand that English Language Learning tutors and their students must meet in the library or other public places. (The Government of Canada provides funding to support this initiative)

I understand that it is the policy of the Hamilton Public Library to protect the privacy of those who use the library and I agree to hold all information about customers in confidence.  In addition, I understand that a breach of confidentiality is immediate grounds for dismissal as a volunteer.
The Hamilton Public Library will immediately terminate this Volunteer Contract should the volunteer be involved in any inappropriate conduct.
