Rooftop Remix Bartender Volunteer

ROOFTOP REMIX BARTENDER VOLUNTEER
VANCOUVER PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION
Event Details

The Vancouver Public Library Foundation is seeking Bartender volunteers for our annual Rooftop Remix event on Friday, August 21, 2026 at VPL’s Central Library (350 W Georgia St). The event takes place from 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm.

Rooftop Remix brings guests to levels 8 and 9 (Phillips, Hager, and North Rooftop Garden) of Central Library for an evening of canapes, beverages, music, new reads, and dancing, along with a Fund-A-Need hosted by Layne, the Auctionista.

This year we’re coming together to support Early Learning Spaces — vibrant, interactive spaces at VPL branches that engage children aged 0-5 in play-based literacy development.

Together we will enrich connections to lifelong learning, inspiration, and one another.
