contains the following modified indemnification language: “COPYRIGHTS: USER shall
assume all cost and liability arising from the use of patented, trademarked, franchised or
copyrighted material used in or incorporated in its performance, as well as all cost and
liability for material which violates the right of privacy or right of publicity or any other
statutory or common law right or any person. USER also shall assume any liability for

to property whatsoever, caused by, created by, or in any way connected with the
performance of the Event by USER, other than claims arising from the sole negligence or
willful misconduct of CITY."
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract is not approved then the Library will not have a sufficiently large enough
venue to hold the author event. The event will have to be canceled.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The annual Summer Reading Festival encourages reading as family activity. Research
shows that family involvement in reading encourages children to read and prepares them for
success in school. This meets the community outcome of families that are safe, stable and
nurturing and the outcome of communities that are safe and provide a high quality of life for
children and families.
