It was busy year for us at FāVS. Not only did we open up a faith and non-faith community center for all you to use, we also reported on Matt Shea’s whistleblowers and wrote popular pieces on the library’s Drag Queen Story Hour. Our columnists tackled challenging topics, like immigration and abortion.
Below are the top 10 news stories and top 10 columns from 2019 (based on Google Analytics).
Thank you for your reading our website this year and coming to our events, we hope you’ll consider supporting us by becoming a FāVS Member in 2020.
