Join us, As Spring arrives and fills our days with sunshine and warmth, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and tidy up before we fully embrace the delights of summer. Join us, alongside your fellow community members, in sprucing up our beloved home – the place where we work, live, and play. This event is suitable for the whole family, with trash bags and reflective safety vests available for everyone. We recommend bringing your own work gloves, dressing in bright colors for visibility, and wearing comfy shoes. DAY OF: Check-in at one of the two check-in locations between 8:30-9:00am where you can grab a reflective safety vest (including a kid sizes while options last), trash bags donated by SLITERS Lumber & Building Supply, complimentary coffee from Glacier Perks, and various pastries compliments of our sponsors including Remedies Lakeside and PsycleMT. When you’re done picking up trash and finding lost treasures, please either return your trash bags back to Volunteer Park or Somers Boat Launch Picnic Area by 11am -or- take to a local landfill.

This BASH is hosted by the one-and-only West Shore Community Library! This incredible organization is ran by an amazing staff Join us for the April BASH (business associates social hour). This BASH is hosted by the one-and-only West Shore Community Library! This incredible organization is ran by an amazing staff and board of volunteers who make up a bright spot in our community, supported by individual and corporate donations and foundation and organization grants. Join us to learn about new happenings and offerings at the library. Free for chamber members, $5 for guests (cash or venmo only). Split the pot for 2024 Fireworks! Don’t forget to bring updated brochures, menus, and business cards to add to the chamber kiosk located right inside the library (a chamber perk!) The WSCL mission is to provide access to a diverse collection of resources serving our community’s educational, cultural, and recreational needs. A little history lesson: The library began as Lakeside Library in response to the lack of a visiting Bookmobile. The groundwork was laid in Debbie Effertz’s (now Spaulding) coffee shop in Lakeside. On January 26, 1996, the founders and 32 volunteers, opened the library in a space donated by Bill Brass, Sr. at 162 Bills Road. Everything was donated – materials, labor and books. After two years, the library moved to the Eisenlohr Lakeside Business Center, 100 Bierney Creek Road, boasting 200 patrons and 4500 books. The Lakeside Library was renamed West Shore Community Library in 2002 to acknowledge the community support of Lakeside, Somers, Rollins, Dayton, Elmo, Proctor and Big Arm. After almost 23 years in the Lakeside Business Center, we moved again, for what we hope is the last time, as we finally have our own home in the newly expanded Volunteer Park. WSCL is forever grateful for the generosity bestowed on the library with the gift of the building at 7191 US Hwy 93 S. This is a dream come true. Widespread support for the gift was voiced by the community at a meeting hosted by the Flathead County Parks Committee on December 2, 2019. Plans were approved, and thanks to so many volunteer hours, our now sizeable collection of nearly 16,000 books and materials was moved and ready for opening day on October 1, 2020. With a 25+ year history of volunteerism, it is only fitting that WSCL now calls Volunteer Park home!
