How
the Literacy Center Got Started
In 1988, the
Junior Woman's Club of Milford provided the financial support to establish the Milford satellite office of the Literacy Volunteers
of New Haven. This was done by a committee of women that eventually turned the task
over to Frances O'Neill as the first Director. She coordinated the program out of
her home until 1992 when the city of Milford provided office space at the Margaret Egan Center. In 1994, they broke away from the Literacy Volunteers of America and became their own non-profit, community
based, literacy agency, known as the Literacy Center of Milford which serves
the greater Milford, Connecticut area. In 1995, they relocated to a
larger space at the Fannie Beach Center. Joy Stonier is currently the director of the Literacy
Center of Milford.
