Currently the mentoring program has 15 volunteers and is growing every week. Aker's other goal for this year is to expand the library, "as much as the walls will let us."
Aker has worked as a paraprofessional in special education for 15 years, and a media assistant for eight years during her time in Indiana. This year she will be the librarian for Lincoln and also provide tutoring for the Response to Intervention (RTI) program.
